ANTHONY DURANTE ROPIA 8 1-D 8-J~12-39 Fukagawa-shi, Hokkaido 074 JAPAN Thomas E. Lynch, Mayor City of Delray Beach 100 N.W. 1st Avenue Delray Beach, FL 33444 . Dear Mayor Lynch, As you know, I have come to Japan as a servant of the Lord and His church and as an English language teacher. Also, as set forth in your Proclamation to me, I am to serve as a good will ambassador between the citizens of Delray Beach and the citizens of Japan. My being here has in an insignificant way, put our beloved City of Delray Beach on the map for at least a few in Japan. I am always quick to tell the acquaintances I make here about our sister city relationship to the Japanese city of Miyazu, and about the Morikami museum and how it is the only museum in the United States devoted entirely to Japanese culture. Since my arrival here, I've had the opportunity to travel to the southwestern, sea side area of Japan and visit friends in Shimane Prefecture's Izumo city. A town of little more than 83,000 population. The city's name itself is hardly known in Tokyo, nonetheless, its acclaimed Izumo-Taisha Shrine is very well known. The shrine is the oldest shrine in Japan and reqistered as a national treasure. Thousands climb the steps of this shrine every year to make donations to its upkeep. Moreover, Japan's former Prime Minister, Takeshita, is also from Shimane Prefecture and is a local hero of Izumo and Shimane Prefecture area. While in Izumo, I was the house guest of the Terado family for one week. Naohiro Terado, formerly a student at Lynn University in Boca Raton, was a guest at my house in Delray Beach for three weeks in October, 1991. In December, 1991, Naohiro's father, Masahiro Terado, who is Vice-Chairman of the Izumo City Council, travelled to Florida and among other place, visited with us in Delray Beach. He was given a tour of Delray's City Hall and met some City Officials, department heads and met both the Police and Fire Chief at their headquaters. A similar courtesy was extended to me in Izumo. Vice-Chairman Terado introduced me to the Mayor and other City Officials and showed me Izumo's City Hall. As is Japanese custom, naturally, gifts were given to me from the City of Izumo, one of which to be given to the City of Delray Beach. It is a flower vase and quite priceless. Since I won't be back to Delray for another two years, I am shipping it to my mother to give to you. I hope it arrives unbroken. The hospitality shown to me in Izumo was more gracious and friendly than I can express enough thanks. Thought you'd like to know about the kindness shown to me. Enclosed is Masahiro Terada's address so that you may let him know that you received the gift and received word of the wonderful hospitality which he and his city showed to a citizen of Delray Beach. '. . . It was truly a delight to represent Delray Beach in Izumo, I hope for more opportunities to do so again during the next two years. Keep me in your prayers as I also go about the business of performing my Christian missionary duties here in Japan. Servant, ((. 1 L( K. Anthony Durante .

On October 17th, we spent the day visiting various places as part of the VYM "Discover Tokyo" orientation program. From windows on the 45th floor at the Metropolitan Government Building, the highest building in Tokyo, all I could see was a vast mass of roofs. We also went a kissaten (coffee house) and I was amazed to see the place was filled with people. We rode on the clean Tokyo subway. In my opinion, Tokyo is cleaner than New York, and you hardly see anyone suffering from poverty. But when I saw the mass of housing from that 45th floor window, I thought some unfortunate people must live under some of those roofs. At the end of October, we went to Tenjo Sanso in Izu, Shizuoka, for a VYM retreat. The mountains and river - even the weather was wonderful. I saw a very high waterfall. Listening the sound of water and wind, I thought I was hearing the voice of God. When I climbed the mountain, many Japanese said hello to me. This was so refreshing because in crowded city trains Japanese do not say anything to strangers. I felt I had met the real Japanese while I was at Tenjo. My previous three visit to Japan were in summer. I've never seen Japanese autumn foliage except in pictures, so this was the first time I was seeing it for myself. In Tokyo, all I see are buildings, but in the countryside I at last found the foliage. Standing in the forest like that, quiet and cool, it was easy to hear the voice of God in my heart. Climbing that mountain in Japan I received the blessinq of God. , .

MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSIONERS FROM: CITY MANAGER (::.;~ 1 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM # 16 - MEETING OF APRIL 27. 1993 UNDERGROUND FACILITIES CONVERSION AGREEMENT DATE: April 23, 1993 This item is before you to approve the Underground Facilities Conversion Agreement with Florida Power and Light for engineering services to relocate an existing overhead utility line to an underground facility along the seawall at Veteran's Park. In this revised agreement, the cost for engineering services is $40,774 ($37,067 plus 10% contingency). At the October 13, 1992 regular meeting the Commission approved the relocation of the line and authorized Florida Power and Light to provide engineering services in the estimated amount of $33,700. Subsequently, staff was notified that the project had been re-engineered; with a revised cost estimate of $58,858. The City Attorney's Office has raised some concerns with regard to the agreement; a copy of which is attached. The response to those concerns is as follows: -The cost which is approximately $18,084 less than the last estimate. -The easements will be worked out and appropriate legal descriptions provided to Florida Power and Light. -The park was designed to accommodate underground facilities. -Florida Power and Light will not indemnify the City. -Florida Power and Light will not give a time certain for completing the work.

Howard Wight, Construction Manager From: ~d N. Tolces, Assistant City AttorneJ)( Subject: FPL Facilities Conversion Agreement PN 91-049 I reviewed the above agreement and have the following comments. It appears that the most the City would have to pay under Paragraph 2 of the agreement is $40,774.00 ($37,067 + 10%). Is that amount more or less than the previously quoted price? There is no listing of easements necessary to accommodate the facilities in Attachment B. We need FPL to inform the City as to what easements they will require. (See Paragraph 3). Is the park designed to accommodate the underground service as proposed? (See Paragraph 5(a)). While I do not think FPL will agree to indemnify the City, I think they should be willing to reimburse the City for any damage done by their work. See what they say about indemnifying the City for losses or damages resulting from their work. Finally, Paragraph 9 should include a time certain by which FPL will complete the work. Whether it is 60 or 90 days, FPL should be able to pinpoint a target date. If you have any questions, please let me know. DNT: sh fpl-2.dnt . . .

MARFI~ PLANNER I DATE: MARCH 29, 1993 RE: COMPUTER PURCHASE I have reviewed your memo dated March 19, 1993, concerning the Planning Department's request to purchase four PCs. You have raised several valid questions with respect to - the hardware configurations, as we specified in the 1992-93 budget request, and what we are now seeking to purchase. I believe the following 'outline should answer your questions: .320 MB Hard Drive: Since the requested PCs will be used on our network, most data will be stored on the network server's hard drive. Thus, a 120 MB hard drive is sufficient. .16 MB Random Access Memory: 4 MB RAM is the minimum amount of RAM that MIS recommends new PCs should have. The operations required of these machines do not warrant more that 4 MB RAM, at this time. If the need arises in the future, they can be easily upgraded at that time. .Network Cards: The present network cards will be transferred to the new PCs, thus no new cards are needed. .Internal Tape Back-Up System: Since most data is stored on the network server's hard drive, and the network server has a tape back-up system in place, there is no need for each new unit to also have one. .rnternal Modem: The Department's present CAD machine has a modem. One modem will sufficiently serve the needs of the Planning Department. ,.- , t~ Dell Computers have always been less expensive than IBM's, and coupled with the dramatic fall of computers prices in general, we are now able to maximize our computer dollar and purchase four PCs, for about the projected price of one. Please feel free to contact me directly (ext. 7048), if you have any further questions concerning the hardware configurations. Y:\docs\dellx3 .. . . Memorandum To: Robert A. Barcinski, Asst. City Manager/ Administrative Services From: Richard Zuccaro, Information Systems Manager ,~ Date: April I, 1993 Subject: Replacement Computers for Planning & Zoning Department As per the memo from Daniel Marfino, dated March la, 1993 the Planning and Zoning Department wants to replace four old microcomputers. The justification in this memo is sound and MIS encourages the replacement of the old, obsolete microcomputers throughout the City as they are becoming more and more difficult, if not impossible, to get the latest software ( LOR, Windows, PC/Support, etc.), to operate with the older technology and the limited resources of the P/C-XT's and AT's. The current PCls as described by Dan can no longer function effectively. They have disk capacity and memory problems that cause very poor performance and system fa 11 ure when they try to switch from the LAN processing to accessing the AS/400. The latest configuration (4/6/93) we recommend to operate on their LAN and support their applications including Windows and PC/Support is: Un it Pri ce Extended Price 4 Dell 433/L Base OX $1,927.00 . . $7,708.00 Quiet Key, 101 keyboard, 6pin factory Installed 4MB RAM, 486/L/M/T, 1 SIMM Factory Installed Ultrascan 14C Monitor 120MB IDE Hard Drive Dual Media Floppy Drive 1.44MB Boot & 1.2MB Drive DOS 6.0, Wibndows 3.1 Dell Mouse PS/2 3.5 Disketts Factory Installed Next Business Dayan-site initial annual contract 512k Video RAM Upgrade to 1MB $ 47.00 $ 188.00 --------- ------------- Total $1.974.00 $7,896.00 !

Per the Finance Department, funding is from: ( ) . Background: Part of the construction costs of the new Fire Station No. 1 involves the installation of cabling for telephones, computers, and cable T.V. Sealed competitive quotations were received on April 20, 1993 from three (3) contractors, per attached tabulation sheet. The lowest priced quotation, submitted by Communications by Johnson, was incorrectly priced, per attached letter from contractor. The second lowest priced quotation, submitted by Teledata Concepts Inc., meets City specifications. Their references are acceptable. They offer a one year warranty on labor and material. The third contractor, Universal Cabling System also meets City specifications. They offer a five year warranty on labor and material. MIS recommends Universal Cabling because of the five year warranty and because of the good work this firm has done for the City in the past. Because City specifications do not require a five year warranty, the low responsive, responsible contractor is Teledata Concepts Inc. Recommendation: The Purchasing Officer recommends award to Teledata Concepts Inc. (Proposal A - Type 2 Cable), at a total installed cost of $13,836.86.

A letter was sent to Broward County regarding their proposed amendment and a request was made to the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners that consideration be given to delete University Parkway from the County Thoroughfare Plan. The Board of County Commissioners subsequently directed their staff to prepare the necessary studies to address the deletion of University Parkway from the Thoroughfare Right-of-way Identification Map for consideration during the first transmittal of amendments to the Comprehensive Plan in 1993. This issue is scheduled to go before the Land Use Advisory Board sitting as the Local Planning Agency on April 28, 1993 and the Board of County Commissioners on May 24, 1993. The Planning and Zoning Board at their April 19th meeting recommended that the Parkway be deleted.

Smith, Jr. , Mayor and City Commission: Later this month, the Board of Palm Beach County Commissioners will be considering an amendment to its Comprehensive Plan which DELETES UNIVERSITY PARKWAY from the Thoroughfare Right-of-Way Identification Map. We urge you to join us in support of the proposed DELETION. The subject of University Parkway was under discussion last year when Broward County suggested are-alignment within Palm Beach County as to better suit Broward County desires. That issue raised, within Palm Beach County, the appropriateness of even having the University Parkway project shown on the County Plan. At that time, the Palm Beach County Commissioners directed that with the next amendment of the County Plan, consideration be given to deletion of the parkway project. That item is now formally before the County. Enclosed is a copy of our Planning and Zoning Board report upon which we, the City Commission of Delray Beach, based our unanimous support of the proposition to DELETE UNIVERSITY PARKWAY from the County Comprehensive Plan.

The subject is the proposed DELETION of University Parkway from the County's Thoroughfare Right-of-Way Identification Map. BACKGROUND: Please review the attached Planning and Zoning Board staff report for description and details. In essence, in response to objections ( from Delray Beach and others) to a proposed realignment of University Parkway in Broward County, the Board of County Commissioners directed that consideration of removal (DELETION) of the proposed parkway be included in the Palm Beach County Plan Amendment 93-1. Based upon City Commission direction to the Administration to be a watchdog on such matters, the subject is being brought forward for official City comment. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION: The Planning and zoning Board formally reviewed this item at its meeting of Monday, April 19th. The Board unanimously (6-0, Naron absent) recommended that the Parkway be DELETED. Among the reasons for the recommendation were: 1. The proposed terminus at Atlantic Avenue (and/or Flavor Pict) would directly funnel a significant volume of traffic onto an already congested roadway; ., City Commission Documentation Endorsement of P&Z Board Recommendations Regarding Changes to Palm Beach County Plan Re University Parkway Page 2 2. Increased congestion in the area between Jog Road and the Turnpike has a negative effect upon existing commercial areas to the east, including downtown redevelopment efforts (i.e. difficulty in making east/west traffic movements); 3. Consideration should be given to the continued enhancement of east/west traffic flow as opposed to north/south traffic flow; 4. The creation of new roadways as the primary response to alleviating traffic problems induced by sprawl has long been viewed as an inappropriate first response; 5. If the parkway is to remain, the County should then consider high land use intensity in proximity to interchanges (one mile +/-) as opposed to furthering sprawl with a new roadway and further land use designations of low density. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By motion, endorsement of the Planning and Zoning Board recommendation with direction to the Administration to send this position to the County Land Use Advisory Board and the Board of Palm Beach County Commissioners.

REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION RE COUNTY PLAN AMENDMENT RE UNIVERSITY PARKWAY ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD: . The item before the Board is that of review and recommending to the City Commission the position which the City should take with respect to the County's Proposed Plan Amendment which DELETES University Parkway from the County Thoroughfare Right-of-Way Map Identification Map. BACKGROUND: Last year Broward County requested that Palm Beach County comment on a proposed re-alignment of University Parkway. The City of Delray Beach raised an objection to even having the concept of a high-volume roadway extending from Broward County and terminating at Atlantic Avenue (or thereabouts). The City argued that such a strategy would place heavy traffic demands on the westerly portion of Atlantic Avenue to the detriment of west to east traffic flow and, hence, be injurious to the redevelopment of our City. For the above, and other reasons, the Board of County Commissioners directed that its staff conclude discussions with Broward County and that in Plan Amendment 93-1 consideration be given to deleting University Parkway from the County Comprehensive Plan. Such a Plan Amendment is now under review. ANALYSIS: Please refer to the draft County staff report and comments from the City Traffic Engineer. . RECOMMENDED ACTION: This item is still under review by the Director.

This action is to take place in the first County Plan amendment of 1993 (May 24th). Historical Overview: . . Originally University Parkway was established as the western most, major north/south route, tying Broward County into West Atlantic Avenue and continuing north. . 1991 - northern terminus changed to West Atlantic Avenue/Flavor Pic Road. . September 22, 1992, City Commission formally opposes University Parkway terminus at West Atlantic Avenue, as well as the creation of a road serving an area of urban sprawl (see Mayor Lynch letter to County Commission dated September 23, 1993) . Study Alternatives: Recently, traffic models (Palm Beach County, Broward County, FOOT) for the future time frame of 2015+ have been run with various roadway alternatives for the southwestern Palm Beach County area. These modeling efforts still continue to show alternatives with University Parkway terminating at West Atlantic Avenue. A direct connection of University Parkway could result in an additional 30,000 Daily vehicles utilizing to West Atlantic Avenue. A connection to an east/west road further south (ie: Clint Moore or Yamato Roads) would minimize the impacts of University Parkway on the Atlantic Avenue corridor. Conclusions L Positions: . 1. University Parkway appears necessary to serve existing land use densities in Southwestern Palm Beach County. 2. If constructed, or designated, such actions must be for an expressway section (not an arterial section) as such a section gives greater road capacity, and can reduced access/development pressure. . 3. The need exists for the identification of other methods/alternatives of addressing mobility needs in this geographic area. . 4. The City should remain opposed to a terminus of any new facility at West Atlantic Avenue.

The City argued that such a strategy would place heavy traffic demands on the westerly portion of Atlantic Avenue to the detriment of west to east traffic flow and, hence, be injurious to the redevelopment of our City. For the above, and other reasons, the Board of County Commissioners directed that its staff conclude discussions with Broward County and that in Plan Amendment 93-1 consideration be given to deleting University Parkway from the County Comprehensive Plan. Such a Plan Amendment is now under review. ANALYSIS: Please refer to the draft County staff report and comments from the City Traffic Engineer. RECOMMENDED ACTION: This item is still under review by the Director.

(H~.'JJ r: Situation: The Board of County Commissioners is considering the deletion from the County Thoroughfare Right-of-way Identification Map of University Parkway. This action is to take place in the first County Plan amendment of 1993 (May 24th). Historical Overview: . . Originally University Parkway was established as the western most, major north/south route, tying Broward County into West Atlantic Avenue and continuing north. . 1991 - northern terminus changed to West Atlantic Avenue/Flavor Pic Road. . September 22, 1992, City Commission formally opposes University Parkway terminus at West Atlantic Avenue, as well as the creation of a road serving an area of urban sprawl (see Mayor Lynch letter to County Commission dated September 23, 1993). Study Alternatives: Recently, traffic models (Palm Beach County, Broward County, FOOT) for the future time frame of 2015+ have been run with various roadway alternatives for the southwestern Palm Beach County area. These modeling efforts still continue to show alternatives with University Parkway terminating at West Atlantic Avenue. A direct connection of University Parkway could result in an additional 30,000 Daily vehicles utilizing to West Atlantic Avenue. A connection to an east/west road further south (ie: Clint Moore or Yamato Roads) would minimize the impacts of University Parkway on the Atlantic Avenue corridor. Conclusions L Positions: 1. University Parkway appears necessary to serve existing land use densities in Southwestern Palm Beach County. 2. If constructed, or designated, such actions must be for an expressway section (not an arterial section) as such a section gives greater road capacity, and can reduced access/development pressure. 3. The need exists for the identification of other methods/alternatives of addressing mobility needs in this geographic area. . 4. The City should remain opposed to a terminus of any new facility at West Atlantic Avenue. Date of Report: 4/13/93 Prepared by: Greg Luttrell T:\Advanced\Univpkwy . f,(c..

We are very interested in considerations dealing with University Parkway since its northern terminus is currently projected at the west end of our community and traffic from it will significantly, and adversely, impact our roadways and land use planning, In review of the Broward County proposal and information gleaned at your worksession on the subject, we note that a stated reason for the proposed realignment is to accommodate level of service deficiencies on other roadways. Such a solution to solving such deficiencies seems to induce urban sprawl and runs counter to ~ .policies and activities of our City, and the County, to promote use of transit and the encouragement of population concentration J in the eastern portion of the County. Thus, the City Commission of the City of Delray Beach has formally acted to request that the Board of Palm Beach County Commissioners consider deletion of University Parkway from the County Thoroughfare Plan in its first amendment for the year 1993. ~~(Cm:RWlE1D) s~n~, . /t.I.V OCT 2 1992 Th16as/E.

A draft copy of the report, prepared by the Traffic Division, addressing University Parkway is enclosed for review and comment. This report will be used to prepare the 12 criteria that the BCC must consider, in accordance with the provisions in the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County, when addressing the elimination or reduction of a roadway link from the Thoroughfare Right-of-Way Identification Map. The issue is scheduled to go before the land Use Advisory Board sitting as the local Planning Agency on ,April 28, 1993 and the Board of County Commissioners on May 24, 19.93. .. UNIVERSITY PARKWAY CORRIDOR STUDY DRAFT INTRODUCTION On October 6, 1992, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) directed staff to prepare a study addressing the removal of University Parkway from the Thoroughfare Right-of-Way Identification Map. This study was to be prepared for the first round of amendments to the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Plan in 1993. HISTORY OF UNIVERSITY PARKWAY . University Parkway was originally envisioned as the western most major north - south roadway in the urbanized area of Palm Beach County. It was shown in the Thoroughfare Right-of-Way Protection Map adopted in 19__ as a 1320? foot wide corridor going from the Broward County line to the Martin County line. The 13201 foot wide right-of-way would allow for the design of a 6-lane highway, with full access control. It would be a parkway design roadway with wide medians and swale areas. In the southern part of Palm Beach County, it followed its present alignment as shown on the existing Thoroughfare Right-of-Way Identification Map, ~ North of the presently planned terminus of University Drive, at West Atlantic Avenue and Flavor Pict Road, it was planned to generally follow the alignment of the L-40 Canal, approximately a mile east of the canal. In central Palm Beach County, University Parkway was planned to tie into what is presently Seminole Pratt Whitney Road, following that alignment to the Martin County line. The L-40 Canal is the eastern border of the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge Conservation Area No. 1. Between West Atlantic Avenue and Boynton Beach Boulevard, the l-40 Canal is at is easterly most location, located only one mile from State Road 7 (US 441). In 19__, concern for the close proximity of the proposed alignment of University Drive to Conservation Area No.1 resulted in the removal of University Parkway from the Thoroughfare Right-of-Way Protection Map in central'Palm Beach County. Several findings were made when the elimination of this section of University Parkway was being considered. The short distance between the L-40 Canal ant State Road 7 necessitated bringing University close to State Road 7. State Road 7 is envisioned as a limited access roadway. There was question as to the utility of two high design roadway facilities in such close proximity. In addition, Martin County has question as to their plans for Seminole Pratt Whitney Road. They advised Palm Beach County that they had no plans for a major roadway to tie into Un i vers ity Parkway. When the central County section of University Parkway was eliminated from the Thoroughfare Right- of -Way- Protecti'on. Map, the ?northern Count v and south Count v? sect i on of University Parkway were reduced to a 120 foot wide right-of-way, Some ?4001 foot wide right-of-way dedications have been made for University Parkway in the southern County. A consultant was hired by Palm Beach County in 11991? to establish a precise alignment for University Parkway in the southern County. Preliminary recommendation from this study showed a need for right-of-way wider than 120 feet in order to accommodate drainage design requirements. In 1991, staff proposed an amendment to the Thoroughfare Right-of-Way Protection Map, increasing the 1 .. ' " . right-of-way width to 240 feet. The BCC adopted the 240 foot wide right-of-way in 1992, with a restriction limiting University Parkway to a 4-lane surface arterial roadway with liberal landscaping and buffering of adjacent development. The BCC also required pedestrian and bicycle facilities included in the future design and consideration for bridle paths. In Broward County, the proposed alignment of University Parkway (also known as the proposed Sawgrass Extension) was changed in 1992. The alignment originally shown on the Trafficways Map called for a 325 foot wide right-of-way that connected to the University Parkway as shown on the Thoroughfare Right-of-Way Protection Map. The alignment proceeded due north from the Sawgrass Expressway, immediately east of the l-36 Canal, the eastern border of the loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge Conservation Area No.2, for a little more than a mile. It then turned northeast and connected with the proposed location for University Parkway in Palm Beach County. Their was a proposal to eliminate the alignment. Instead, the alignment was changed to continue the due north direction east of Conservation Area No~ 2 all the way to the Palm Beach County line. The right-of- way width was reduced to ?2401 feet. Three other roadway alignments, for local roadways in the study area that would not cross into Palm Beach County, were changed. Figure 1 shows the old and new alignments of the Sawgrass Extension in relation to the alignment for University Parkway. In 1992, Broward County requested that the Palm Beach County change the alignment of Univers)ty Parkway in the Thoroughfare Right-of-Way Identification Map to meet the ne alignment for Sawgrass Extension. The BCC decided to hold action on that request until after the November election, because there would be a new District 5 Commissioner. COMPUTER MODELS Several different computer models are used in Palm Beach County for transportation planning purposes. The Buildout Model is based on a composite of all of the local Comprehensive land Use Plans in Palm Beach County. It assumes that development has occurred on all parcels of land in accordance with their land uSe designaff~ns. Traffic from these land uses are assigned to a roadway network based on all roadways shown on the Thoroughfare Right-of-Way Identific~tion Map being built to their maximum cross-sections. The Build-out Model has alwa s been the test for elimination or reduction of roadwa s from t~e Thorou hfare Ri en 1 lca 10 . lnce e oroug are Right-of- Way enti ication Map represents the ultimate roadway system in the County it is believed that the elimination of roadways from the system should be based on the ultimate buildout of the County. The 2010 Model is also based on a composite of all the local Comprehensive land Use Pl ans. The intensity of development is based on the 2010 population projections for the County. The population and associated development is ass i gned throughout the County in accordance with exi st i ng development trends and projected development trends. The 2010 plan is the mandated 20 year planning horizon. These plans are updated every 5 years. The update to the 2015 plan will be beginning soon. Both the 2010 Model and the Buildout Model use the Florida Standard Urban 2 , Transportation Model Structure (FSUTMS) which is modified and calibrated to ref1 ect the roadway network, land use (socio-economic data) and trip making characteristics in Palm Beach County, Palm Beach County is part of a larger urbanized area which includes Broward County and Dade County. Many of the trips within Palm Beach County, particularly the southern section, have origins or destinations to the urbanized area to the south. The socio-economic data does not extend beyond Palm Beach County. In order to properly represent the cross county traffic in the model, certain externalities are assumed, This approach is a fairly accurate representation of trips with origins or destination outside of Palm Beach County. When testing the effects of changing roadway that cross into Broward County, the assumed externalities no longer hold true, Using the Buildout Model used in Palm Beach County to test the effects of eliminating University Parkway would producd questionable results. Broward County also maintains a computer model similar to Palm Beach County Model for doing long range traffic forecasting. Their .Urban Model" is also based on FSUTMS, modified and calibrated to reflect the roadway network, land use and trip making characteristics in Broward County. The Urban Model uses a roadway network based on the Trafficways Map, Broward County's equivalent of the Thoroughfare Right-of-Way Identification Map. The Florida Department of Transportation (FOOT) maintains the Southeast Regional Planning Model (SERPM). SERPM includes all of Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties. It is the best method for determining the interaction between the two counties. FOOT prepared a study in 1991 to evaluate the needs for roadways between northwest Broward and southwest Palm Beach Counties. The FOOT study used a two step modeling process to provide the most accurate projections. First, SERPM was used to determine the through traffic in the study area. Second, the Urban Model was mod i fi.edto i nc 1 ude the Boca Raton area of Palm Beach County and was used to develop more detailed local projections. The Urban Model was used to run the various network alternatives because, with a smaller zonal structure, it is more sensitive to local network changes than SERPM. Four network alternative were run for the 1991 study. The FOOT study provides the traffic modeling basis for the for the first four alternatives addressed in this study. The FOOT study area is shown in Figure 2. FOOT is presently undertaking a corridor study for University Drive from Broward % County to Palm Beach County. This study also uses the modeling structure used in the- 1991 stlidy. FOOT has agreed to provide an additional model for the University Parkway study showing the Trafficways al ignment for University Parkway and two alternate alignments of University Drive without University Parkway, SOCIO-ECONOMIC DATA Zonal socio-economic data was provide for the FOOT study by Broward and Palm Beach Counties. .Buildout data was available for all of Palm Beach County and northwest Broward County, but not all areas of Broward County. The Urban Model used 2010 data where Buildout was not available. This results in conservative ~~r~~s. The combination of Buildout and 2010 socio-economic aata aoes not ma erially change their study results because all data in the study area is 3 .. , '. Buildout data and is consistent. The projections obtained in their analysis are representative of a 25 year planning horizon (ye~r 2015 of Buildout) for the study area. The socio-economic data for the studY,area is shown in Table 1 and the TAZ locations are shown in Figure 3, ~~. ROADWAY NETWORKS '-- The Hillsboro Canal serves as a natural barrier between Palm Beach County and Broward County from the Atlantic Ocean to two miles west of State Road 7. There are presently no eanal crossing west of State Road 7. The "Benchmark" Network represents the existing roadway network, The "Benchmark" Network is shown in Figure 4. . . The "Dual Arterial Crossing" Network is similar to the proposed amendments to the Trafficways Map. There would be two canal crossings west of State Road 7. Coral Ridge Drive would be a 4-lane divide roadway connecting to Palmetto Park Road. University Drive would be a 6-lane divided roadway extending north to Glades Road and Yamato Road. Uni vers i ty Dri ve does not extent to Yamato Road in the Thoroughfare Right-of-Way Identification Map. The "Dual Arterial Crossing" Network is shown in Figure 5. The "University Parkway/Drive" Network is similar to the current Thoroughfare Right-of-Way Identification Map. There would be two canal crossings west of State Road 7. University Parkway would be a 4-lane expressway connecting to West ~ Atlantir. Avenu~. University Drive would be a 6-lane divided roadway to Palmetto Park Road. Between Palmetto Park Road and Yamato Road it would be a 3-lane pair serving as a collector and distributor road for University Parkway. The "University Parkway/Drive" Network is shown in Figure 6. The "Full" Network is essentially a combination of the "Dual" Network and the "University Parkway/Drive" Network. There would be three canal crossing west of ) State Road 7. Coral Ridge Drive would be a 4-lane divided roadway connecting to further north, to Glades Road via Nob Hill Road. University Parkway would be a 4-lane expressway connecting to W~~tlant;c Av~ue, University Drive would be a 6-lane divided roadway connecti g to Palmetto Park:Road, Between Palmetto Park Road and Yamato Road it would be a 3-lane pair serving as a collector and distributor road for University Parkway. The "Full Network" is shown in Figure 7. '.. . The "Trafficways" Network uses the Broward County al ignment of University Parkway. The alignment is inunediately east of the C-41 canal. University J Parkway would be a 4-lane expressway connecting to~ Atlantic Av~nue, Flavor Pict Road as well as intermediate connections in est Boca Raton. University Drive would be a 6-lane divided roadway connecting to Palmetto Park Road. The "Trafficways" Network is shown in Figure 8. The "U~iversity.,D.rive to Yamato Road" Network has no University Parkway. University Drive extends north to Yamato Road as a 6-lane arterial roadway. The "University Drive to Yamato Road" Network is shown in Figure 9. I The "University Drive to Glades Road" Network also has no University Parkway. _ University Drive extends north to Glades Road as a 6-lane arterial roadway, as ~ f'.~ 4 ~"-~ ~-I' ( .~ I it is shown in the The "University Drive to Glades Road" Network is shown in TRIP MAKING CHARACTERISTICS WITHIN THE STUDY AREA The FOOT Northwest Broward County and Southwest Palm Beach County Year 2015 Transportation Corridor Analysis determined the gross number of trips generated within and passing through the study area. The study estimated that there would be 411,800 daily trips within the study area. These trips consist of 339.400 daily trips generated within the study area (82%) and 72.400 daily trips that pass through the study area. This information is graphically shown in Figure 11. Of the 339.400 daily trips generated in the study area. 284.000 daily trips (84%) will leave the study area (external) and 55.400 daily trips will stay in the study area (internal). This information is graphically shown in Figure 12. Development i n--southern Palm Beach County and northern Broward County is constrained from further westward expansion by . the canals which border Conservation Areas No.1 and No.2 of the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. In Broward County. the L-36 Canal is 4 miles further west than the L-40 Canal in Palm Beach County. This more westwardly located potential development has no direct northerly access. Without additional canal crossing west of State Road 7. much of the traffic from Broward County going to the north. and much of the traffic from Palm Beach County going to western Broward County would be funneled into the available crossings at State Road 7, Lyons Road and Florida's Turnpike. LAND USE In Palm Beach County. the lands in the western part of the study area. west of the proposed location for University Parkway, east and south of the L-40 Canal and south of Glades Road, have primarily agricultural uses wi th a 1 and use designation of Rural Residential with a density ~f 1 dwelling unit per 10 acres. It is also the location of the 1,200 acre Solid Waste Authority Site 1. which is proposed to be a future land fill. There has been discussion by the Solid Waste Authority regarding selling the Site 1 for development or converting it to another use in response to neighborhood objections to the proposed land fill and incinerator. A developer has made an offer to purchase the site for residential deve 1 opment with a dens ity of 3 dwell i ng un its per acre. There is also a proposed land use amendment which would change 400 acres of agricultural land south of the Hi1lsboro Canal to a residential development with a density of 3 dwelling units per acre. East of the proposed location of University Parkway and south of Glades Road land is being ~eveloped at. medium and low density residential. ranging from 3 to 5 dwelling units per acre. Commercial development abuts State Road 7. North of Glades Road and south of Clint Moore Road is mixture of land uses. predominantly residential lands closer to State Road 7 with a density of 1 to 5 dwelling units per acre and some agricultural land uses. Closer to the l-40 Canal are agricultural lands and the location of 850 acres proposed for the South County Regional Parks. North of Clint Moore Road the land is predominantly agricultural. The wester part of the Agricultural Reserve Area is included in the study area. - . 5 ., I In northwestern Broward County, the study area consists of undeveloped land with land use designations allowing residential development less than 3 dwell ing units per acre, In the northwest corner of this area are 400 acres with an industrial land use designation and 300 acres with a commercial land use designation. Broward County is considering a proposal to change these land use designation to residential, with densities consistent with the rest of the area. A decision is expected in September 1993. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS Protection of the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge has been a prime concern for vari ous envi ronmental group,s. It is part of the water system for the Everglades. It is the habitat for a variety of birds and the Florida Panther. The concerns regarding University Parkway as it related to the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge can be characterized in three groups. A high speed roadway in close proximity to the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refug~OUld impact the wildlife population due to increased road kill. It shoul oted however th~.t .the Loxahatchee National Wildl ife Refuge is separated from the proposed locations for University Parkway by a wide canal and berm. There is a need of wildlife corridors between the various wildlife areas, and the proposed locations for University Parkway could serve as one of these corridors betwe~n the Loxahatchee Nat i ona 1 Wil d1 i fe Refuge and the John W. Corbett Wi 1 dl i fe Management Area. Finally, there is concern that dev~lopment proposals follow roads and the presence of Uni vers ity Parkway wi 11 create pressures for more intense development in close proximity to the Loxahatchee National Wildl ife Refuge. The more intense the development the greater the chance for impacts from this developme~~_~~ Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. - In the area north of Clint Moore Road, there are some wetland areas along the proposed alignment for University Parkway. The construction of University Parkway wU 1 have to avoid these areas or mi t igate the impacts on them. NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS The area west of State Road 7 has numerous built-out residential developments and several residential developments in the process of being built. Some residents believed that their location, between State Road 7 and the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge would assure them a somewhat quieter neighborhood, with the only traffic coming from their development and other surrounding developments. For the resident living close to the proposed location of University Parkway, there is concern about the potential noise that would come from what would be a high volume roadway. For the residents more to the east of the proposed location of University Drive, there is a concern that there will be a significant increase in traffic. on the east-west roadways that presently serve only local traffic, The increase in traffic would be through traffic fed from University Parkway. LEVEL OF SERVICE IN 2015 Each of the six roadway networks described above were evaluated by FOOT to determi ne projected 2015 traffic vol umes. The "Benchmark" Network primarily serves as access for local land uses and does not inc1 ude any north/south 6 . ' , , corridors west of State Road 7. The analysis showed a north/south demand at the Hillsboro Canal for 105,000 daily trips within this corridor. The 1 ack of north/south roadways forces traffic to travel around the study area resulting in increased travel time and delay. Roadways exceeding the state and local level of service standards in Palm Beach County include State Road 7 (LOS F), Lyons Road (LOS F) and Florida's Turnpike (LOS F), In Broward County, State Road 7 (LOS F), Sample Road (LOS F), Wiles Road (LOS E) and the Sawgrass Expressway (LOS F) and Coral Ridge Drive (LOS F) exceed state and local level of service standards. Figure 13 shows the number of lanes and level of service for roadways in the "Benchmark" Network. - ,. In the "Dual Arterial Crossing" N,twork, the north/south demand uses the crossing that are available. This demand would cause University Drive to operate at LOS F in Palm Beach County. Most of State Road 7 would be at LOS F in both Counties. Compared to the "Benchmark" Network, Florida's Turnpike improves slightly to LOS E and Lyons Road improves to LOS D in Palm Beach County. In Broward County, a part of Coral Ridge Road remains at LOS F and Sample Road improves slightly to LOS E. Level of service standards are not exceeded on Wiles Road and Sawgrass Expressway. Figure 14 shows the number of 1 anes and 1 evel of service for roadways in the "Dual Arterial Crossing" Network. In the "University Parkway/Drive" Network, most of State Road 7 would be at LOS F in both Counties. Compared to the "Benchmark" Network, Florida's Turnpike and Lyons Road improve to LOS D in Palm Beach County. A small section of University Drive operates at LOS F. In Broward County level of service standards are not exceeded on any other roadway. This roadway network assumes that University Parkway is a 4-lane ex~ressway. The present designation for University Parkway in the Tnoroughfare Rlght-of-Way Identification Map is as a 4-lane arterial roadway. The capacity of a 4-lane ex ressway is almost 2 1/2 times greater than the capacitf of a 4- oa way. e uClng 1S roa aflerial )oadwAY ill lhe model would result in the reassignment of trips to other roadways, changing the level of service on many roadways in the area. Figure 15 shows the number of lanes and level of service for roadways in the "University Parkway/Drive" Network. In the "Full" Network, sections of State Road 7 in both Counties would operate at LOS F. In both Counties, level of service standards are not exceeded on any other roadway, with the exception of a section of Riverside Drive in Broward County.. .As with the "University Parkway/Drive" Network, University Parkway is assumed to be a 4-lane expressway. Reducing this roadway to a 4-lane arterial roadway in the model woulld result in the reassignment of trips to other roadways, changing the level of service on many roadways in the area. Figure 16 shows the number of lanes and level of service for roadways in the "Full" Network. In the "Trafficways" Network, sections of State Road 7 in both Counties would operate at LOS F. In both Counties, level of service standards are not exceeded on any other roadway. As with the "University Parkway/Drive" Network and "Full" Network, University Parkway is assumed to be a 4-lane expressway. Reducing this roadway to a 4-lane arteria 1 roadway in the model would result in the reassignment of trips to other roadways, changing the level of service on many roadways in the area. Figure 17 shows the number of lanes and level of service for roadways in the "Trafficways" Network. 7 ., , In the "University Drive to Yamato Road" Network, most sections of State Road 7 in both Counties are at LOS F, Sections of University Drive north and south of the Broward County line are Los E and Los F. A section of Lyons Road in Broward County is LOS E. Figure 18 shows the number of lanes and level of service for roadways tn the "University Drive to Yamato Road" Network. In the "University Drive to Glades Road" Network, most sections of State Road 7 in both Counties are'at LOS F. There are 10% increases in volumes on State Road 7 over the volumes shown for the "University Drive to Yamato Road" Network. University Drive does not exceed the adopted level of service standards. A section of Lyons Road 1n Broward County is LOS E. Figure 19 shows the number of lanes and level of service for roadways in the "University Drive to Glades ~ROad" Network. . ~ able ows the projected traffic volumes on selected roadway links for each ~~ of networks described above. \P- ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF AN EXPRESSWAY DESIGN There a several advantages to an expressway design. Because of the controlled access and elimination of at-grade intersections, a,r 4-lane expressway has a traffic carrying capacity far greater than an arterial roadway. LOS D for a 4- lane expressway is 73,800 daHy trips versus 30,200 for a 4-lane arterial roadway. An expressway provides a faster and more convenient route of through traffic, and truck- .traffic, providing an alternative for this traffic away from the arterial and local roadways servicing the majority of traffic from local development. Larger right-of-ways can be justified for expressways. Thi s provides a opportunity for a buffer between the roadway and abutting residential properties. Expressways can be a barrier, dividing neighborhoods. PLANNING DIVISION STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx TRAFFIC DIVISIONS STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS All of the computer model results for roadway networks with University Parkway show traffic volumes which justify a 4-lane expressway. Unfortunately, no computer model runs were available showing University Parkway as a 4-lane arterial roadway. However, a few rational assumptions regarding the impact of a 4-lane arterial University Parkway versus a 4-lane expressway University parkway can be made. Since the traffic volumes on the 4-lane expressway '.., 8 " , University Parkway far exceed the capacity of 4-1ane arterial roadway, a significant percentage of the traffic volumes on University Parkway over the capacity of a 4-1ane arterial roadway will be diverted to other north-south roadway. Other north-south roadways in the study area with traffic volumes near or over the adopted level of service standard wi 11 experience increased congestion and delay. Engineering Staff recommends showing University Parkway as an expressway on the Thoroughfare right-of-Way Identification Map. The Thoroughfare Plan alignment for University Parkway and the Trafficways Plan alignment for University Parkway both relieve much of the traffic congestion on the other north- south roadways in the study area. The Thoroughfare Plan alignment would have somewhat hi~her traffic volumes and somewhat lower traffic volumes on the other north-south roadways. This is probably due to the fact that ~ when University Parkway is moved to the west, as in the Trafficways Plan, it has less utility. People are less likely to drive west to go north or south so they .~ opt to go east to the next north-south roadway. This reduces both travel time and travel distance. ~~ ~ Most importantly, there needs to be a resolution between Palm Beach County and Broward County regarding the alignment of University Parkway. Engineering Staff recommends that there be a joint planning meeting between the two counties so that the .alignment issue can be resolved. . - .- -~ . . . . ... 9 , , - ., NETWORKS FIGURE i w ,...

At that time the Commission raised additional concerns which required further staff research. Final action on the agreement was deferred to April 27, 1993. In response to the concern expressed regarding fringe benefits: the difference in the fringe benefit percentage between FY 93/94 arises because the 93/94 percentage is calculated less the first three months of the year because the city will be staffing the station with employees on overtime. When we get into FY 94/94, the city will provide staffing with full-time regular personnel over the entire twelve month period. With regard to the overhead charge: the overhead charge is the Town of Highland Beach's prorata share of the overhead for operating the fire department. We do not anticipate any significant increase in overhead costs; therefore, that is clear profit to the City. Recommend approval of the agreement with the Town of Highland Beach providing for comprehensive fire and emergency medical services by the City of Delray Beach wi thin the municipal boundaries of the Town of Highland Beach; subject to the comments of the City Manager.

Kurtz Subject: Guarine, et al, v. City of Delray Beach, et ale Our office has discussed this case with Commissioners on several occasions. This case arose out of a shooting of Richard Guarine by Donald West, a sergeant with the Delray Beach Police Department. Sgt. West was disciplined for his actions leading up to the shooting. Sgt. West was reinstated to the Department with a lengthy suspension by the arbitrator who heard this case and the Grand Jury has twice refused to indict him with respect to the shooting. The action is being brought against the City and Sgt. West on negligence and Title 42, Section 1983 claims. The Section 1983 claims require a substantially higher degree of proof and is a different standard than mere negligence. In order to establish liability against a city in Section 1983 claims, the Plaintiff has the burden of proving that the City had a custom, policy, or permitted a pattern of conduct which resulted in the violation of the Plaintiffs' civil rights. In order to establish liability against an individual officer, the Plaintiff must establish that the officer or city employee acted in reckless or intentional disregard of the Plaintiffs' civil rights. In this case, the civil rights violation is essentially that there was excessive force used in effectuating the arrest. Former Police Chief Kilgore and Officers Wintemute, Brown, Kayworth, and Eberhart were originally named in the lawsuit. The Plaintiff has filed a Voluntary Dismissal of the case against them and at this point in time the only two remaining Defendants are the City and Sgt. West. There is considerable exposure in a Section 1983 case to municipalities because the the sovereign immunity cap of $100,000 per plaintiff, $200,000 per incident does not apply. In addition, if the Plaintiffs are successful in getting Section 1983 damages, they would be entitled to attorney's fees. " ,,,' I Memo to City Commission April 8, 1993 Page 2 Therefore, in this case there is the potential that a jury could award a verdict and a judge could combine an award of attorney's fees that would result in the City and/or Sgt. West being liable for total damages and costs in excess of $500,000. The cost of defending this suit would be a minimum of an additional $50,000 and in all likelihood, exceed $100,000. The case is also in a posture from the Plaintiffs' perspective wherein the settlement value is likely to increase. This is because the Plaintiff's attorneys believe that they will succeed on the Section 1983 claim and will award the Section 1983 attorney's fees. Such fees are not based on a percentage of the outcome, but rather on the time spent by the attorneys, the experience of the attorneys and the difficulty of prevailing. In this type of case it is possible to have a $100,000 judgment against the Defendant and attorney's fee exceeding the judgment assessed against them. For these reasons, our office is recommending at this time that the City Commission accept Plaintiffs' offer to settle the case for $206,700.00 which is inclusive of all cost and attorney's fees. It is anticipated that this matter will be presented before the Commission at their regularly scheduled meeting of April 27, 1993. Should any Commissioner have any further questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Swinton Avenue Delray Beach, FL 33444 Re: Delray Beach Elevated Storage Tank Dear Mr. Hayden: I have talked to Gany Pettriess_ PBS&J's inspection subconsultant, regarding the subject project. Mr. Pettriess has been on the site beginning April 21_ 1993_ after a week's hiatus. Mr. Pettriess has discovered during the last two days that there are many improperly coated areas. Also previous deficiencies have not been corrected. The Contractor, Dees Contracting, Inc., has on several occasions been notified of non-compliance with the contract documents alId it appears that this non-compliance is continuing. Some of the..9_eficiencies that have been discovered just in the last two days are as follows: 1. On the tank interior roof several areas are exhibiting mud-type cracking. This indicates excessive paint millage buildup. 2. At angles and plate edges throughout the tank excessive millage is causing mud cracking. 3. There are areas where bare steel is exposed ~ the second coat of paint has been applied. 4. In the bottom of the tank debris, sand and trash has been painted over with the second coat. 5. A previous deficiency report filed 4/7/93, regarding rust areas on the tank roof was not acted upon. This is backed up by photos taken 4/21/93 and 4/22/93. Also in these areas, rust evidence is occurring through the second coat. Mr. Oeesand Mr. Chambers have said that these areas in question were sand blasted and reprimed prior to applying the second coat of paint. Several areas were scraped with a knife by Mr. Pettriess. At these test areas rust was observed under the new second coat. 1500 ORANGE AVENUE, SUITE 700, WINTLR PARK, FLORIDA 31789-5544. TElEPHONL: 407/647-72.15 , ~b~ J tS'r; t'j)~&J LVi'\t'.

Several other areas (6 to 7) that were rusting prior to 4/13/93 were checked on 4/21/93 after the second coat was applied. Rust was occurring under the second coat. 7. The interior ladder which was previously primed is now rus ting heavily through the primer. The contractor has been told repeatedly to completely reblast and recoat the ladder prior to installation in the tank. No action has been taken on this item for over a month. R Thr.m is iI. large area on the tank wall at the leg #4 rivet pattern which was not blasted properly, seam sealed or primed. This area did receive the second coat ot paint over rust. 9. The Contractor continues to insufficiently staff the job properly to complete it within a reasonable time. 10. The Contractor has not taken advantage of severa) clear good painting days in the past. .- -, 11. The Contractor has significantly gone over the contract time. The Contractor is not takIng a pro..acdvc: rule Lu c}ljJ~dit~ completion of hi!; work. 12. The Contractor has not complied with the contract documents in the past and he continues to flagrantly disregard the contract documents in his continued operations. In view of all of the above, PBS&J and our subconsultant, S. G. Pinney and Associates, Inc., recommend that the City discharge the Contractur by written actiun and notify the Contractor's bonding company with written return receipt requested notice of the Contraclor's discharge. The City has the right to discharge the Contractor based on Articles 56 and 57 of the General Conditions of the Contract. After ten (10) days' written notice to the bonding company, the City could contract with others to complete the work.

I have attached a copy of the original ordinance with the proposed revisions inserted in legislative format for discussi~ The following are changes which are recommended to be brought for to the City Commission in the form of a revising ordinance: 1. Remove the word "sod" from Section (B)(l)(a). 2. Change 25 feet to 15 feet in Section (B)(2)(c). This will prohibit any movable fixture from being placed closer than 15 feet to a fire hydrant. This is in conformity with state statute 3l6.l945(1)(b)(2). 3. Change 5 feet to 40 inches in Section (B) ( 4) (a) . This will require any moveable fixture placed or maintained on a sidewalk to leave a clear area for traffic of not less than 40 inches, meeting American's with Disability Act requirements. 4. Change the clear zone distance from 5 feet to 4 feet in Section (B)(5)(a), also adding a provision allowing for a reduction in the clear zone to 2 1/2 feet if 4 feet is impractical, which is consistent with green book standards. The newspaper representatives also put forward a proposed revision to Section (B)(5), "Clear Zones". The revision would 911 .. . City Commission April 22, 1993 Page 2 permit newsracks within 4 feet of the face of a 6" high verti- cally faced curb. In locations where the four foot minimum is impractical, the minimum shall be reduced to 2.5 feet. In locations where there is no curb or sidewalk, the newsrack will be located no less than 10 feet away from the edge of the pavement. If there is not 10 feet available, the newsrack should be located as far away from the edge of the roadway as possible. Where there is a sidewalk and no curb, the news rack will be located no closer than 40" away from the roadside edge of the sidewalk; however, if adequate right-of-way is avail- able, the newsrack will be located along the non-roadside edge of the sidewalk. With regard to Paragraph (B) (7), the present language gives the City Manager authority to designate locations on City property for moveable fixtures. The proposed language will authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to file location maps with the City Clerk's Office indicating those places at which news racks may be located at City facilities. Newsracks which are placed in improper locations will be considered abandoned and treated as such. Another issue is the establishment of sight distance triangles at intersections. The newspaper companies are suggesting a triangle-which will intersect the road approximately 40 feet from the beginning of the intersection. <=- "'\{) '-+ """ "~r s"T<>P oiL -,-?U,FFO<- f"x\~i::!t;-S ~'lJF:' .sk'::rt-l ~l~Y 3l>" itL\..(,~eo \t-:l ~. The "green book" standards are much more restrictive in that a minimum distance of 300' is required as a base for the triangle. 30C) , N\)I"\O~l~ 'f\ x.,....'0::-~ --:;;;\t)f' ~ T~A='c ~-.j B 3b" 1'\'-\....()vJ~ "';l~ Ll~\ , \ tJ I\a.... <OfT' The newspaper companies claim that adoption of the green book standards will effectively ban news racks from the streets of Delray Beach, and as a result violate the first amendment right to freedom of speech. The existing ordinances establishes two separate s.ite distances, depending upon the existence of a curb. (115' with curb, 210' without) . , I City Commission April 22, 1993 Page 3 While safety concerns are a primary goal of sight distance triangles, the green book requirements may be considered too onerous. Consequently, our office needs direction from the Commission as to whether the City desires to impose the green book standards, or attempt to compromise the sight distance triangle while retaining adequate protection for motorists and pedestrians. It is our office's opinion that if challenged, adherence to green book standards would better support our safety arguments rather than an arbitrary safety standard. The newspaper companies are requesting the removal of Section (C) , "Standards for Newsrack Maintenance and Installation". This provision was adopted in order to avoid the placement of duplicate newsracks within 1000 feet of an identical news rack or in the same block. The newspaper companies claim that Section (C) dictates to the newspaper companies how to run their business. Therefore, they would like this section removed in its entirety. The negotiation process has not resolved this disagreement. The items regarding color in Section (C) (2) (e) and the restrictions on advertising in Section (D) , have been declared unconstitutional in the case of Gold Coast Publications, Inc. v. Corrigan, otherwise known as the Coral Gables case. The provisions..-. were deemed broader than necessary to serve the City's aesthetic interests. While this office disagrees with the decision, it is our recommendation that both Section (C) (2) (e) regarding color, and Section (D) regarding the limitations on advertising be removed pending the resolution of the Coral Gables case. As part of the negotiations with the newspaper companies, the City had agreed to abate any enforcement of the City's newsrack ordinance. The dates at which the abatement was to end was April 9, 1993. There have been no enforcement actions taken since April 9, 1993, and at this time we are requesting that the City Commission grant further abatement of the enforcement of the moveable fixture ordinance until May 25, 1993 in order to allow for the adoption of a revising ordinance and for final negotiations to take place. (See attached letter). Consider- ation of this abatement matter should be approved by a formal vote of the City Commission. One other matter proposed during the negotiations is the question of the installation of news rack pull-off areas. This has been done in Boca Del-Mar and Wellington. The newspapeJ;" companies have agreed with the local association to place the newsracks at pull-off areas which are constructed by the association. I spoke with Gordon Martz of the Boca Del-Mar " . City Commission April 22, 1993 Page 4 Homeowner's Association and he informed me that construction of the pull-off locations cost between $6,000 to $8,500 per site, depending upon the extent of landscaping and curbing which would take place. The newspapers will not agree to contribute any money to the construction of the sites, but have agreed to consolidate ten news rack locations into four pull-off areas. (See attached letter from Chip Danneker) . At this time, the Commission should consider whether or not the City would like to participate in a news rack pull-off construction program. The locations listed are those locations which the newspaper companies have proposed eliminating, if the City would construct the pull-off areas. It has also been suggested that the City should attempt to work with commercial property owners to allow for the placement of news racks within shopping centers and office buildings in order to take some of the locations off of the street. The newspaper companies have indicated a willingness to eliminate some locations if the City can persuade the commercial property owners to allow news racks on their property. Consideration of all these matters by the City Commission is appropriate and direction should be given as to what revisions the Commission agrees with regarding the newsrack ordinance. The Cit~ttorney's Office and the newspaper representatives have been working in good faith in an attempt to resolve the outstanding matters. It is our hope that through the adoption of the ordinance revisions, and the adoption of cooperative programs, litigation may be avoided. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to call.

Provided, however, that the City Manager, or his designee, may dispose of the movable fixture in any manner it sees fit, including negotiating the release of the movable fixture to the controlling entity for less than full payment of all storage charges if the City Manager or his designee is of the opinion that such disposal will be more advantageous to the City than auctioning off the movable fixture.

Ten rack lccations would be consolidated upon the construction of four pull-offs. We also identified four additional locations that would be eliminated if the city could convince local businesses to permit the racks to be located on the premises. Our suggestions are as follows: Pull Offs There are three areas of Delray which lend themselves to the insta~tion of news rack pull offs. By constructing a total of~r pull offs, the newspapers would consolidate 10 ra~k locations. Proposed Pull-Off Locations Replaced l. Lake Ida 1. Lake Ida West of Congress (Northside near Congress) 2.

At the April 7, 1993 meeting, former City Attorney Jeff Kurtz stated that he would seek an additional thirty-day extension on the enforcement abatement. The thi~day extension would have been from April 9, 1993. The Commission was not advised of this extension at its April 13, 1993 meeting. City Attorney Susan Ruby will make the request for an extension at the April 27, 1993 meeting. The extension would be until May 25, 1993. Therefore, pending the City Commission's authorization, you will now have five ( 5 ) days from May 25, 1993 to file an appeal or correct the violation.

Ruby, City Attorney SUBJECT: Definition of Earnings The City's ordinance governing pensions defines "earnings" as "basic wages paid to a member, excluding overtime, bonuses, and any other non-regular payments". This definition is contained within the City's Code of Ordinances in Section 36.60. Attached hereto, please find backup material and a letter from former City Attorney, Jeffrey S. Kurtz dated March 23, 1992 which sets forth the opinion that the "payments" constitute bonuses and are therefore properly excluded from the earnings calculations. This interpretation is consistent with past practice because it is our office's understanding that all of these items are presently excluded when making pension calculations by both the actuary, the finance department and the pension board. Please feel free to contact our office if you have any further questions regarding this matter. By copy of this memorandum to David Harden, our office requests that this matter be placed on the April 27, 1993 City Co ion agenda. cc David Harden, City Manager Alison MacGregor Harty, City Clerk qo .j.

Harden, City Martager~1 SUBJECT: PAYROLL CODES INCLUDED IN POLICE OFFICER AND FIREFIGHTER EARNINGS DATE: April 15, 1993 -------. Attached is Joe Safford's memo to Jeff dated November 30, 1992 regarding this issue. As we discussed by telephone today, Jeff and I had agreed that this matter should go to the City Commission, however, I had never received from him comments he indicated he would provide to be included in the back up material. It appears to me that this reinterpretation of the City code constitutes an increase in benefits which should be negotiated with the appropriate unions. Another approach to relieve the concerns of the pension board might be to amend the code to clarify that incentive pay is not to be considered part of earnings for pension purposes. As we discussed, I will tentatively schedule this for City Commission consideration on April 27th.

Sa~ ctor of Finance SUBJECT: Payroll Codes for Police and Firefighters Pension Plan Participants DATE: November 30. 1992 Please find attached a request from the Police and Firefighters Pension Board as delivered to me today by the Police and Firefighters Pension Board Secretary. Sal Arena. As you know. the Police and Firefighters Pension Board was reviewing the City's payroll codes to determine which codes are currently included in the "earnings" calculations which are used to determine pension benefits and whether or not they felt other codes should be included. Based on the information presente4 to them and their subsequent discussions, they are requesting that the attached list of codes be used in the "earnings" calculations. some of which are not currently used in these calculations. They further requested that these changes be made during the next pay period. Please review their request and advise whether or not an ordinance change would need to be implemented prior to our inclusion of these additional codes. As they are requesting these changes to be made in an extremely short timeframe and any addition of codes will require programming changes to several programs. we would appreciate your review of their request and a reply to our concern as soon as possible so that we may have adequate time to comply with their request. '., . . Additionally. these requested code additions would n~t only increase the amount of City contributions. but the amount of employee contributions for each participant in the Police and Firefighters Pension Plan. As such, it would also seem appropriate for these effected employees to be notified prior to any changes being made which would effect their paychecks. If you will be responding directly to the Board concerning this matter, please forward a copy of your reply to me. Thank you. I /sam Attachment cc: David T. Harden. City Manager Salvatore Arena.

The property is located at the southwest corner of N.E. 4th Avenue and N.E. 3rd Street. BACKGROUND: The City is currently negotiating the purchase of the subject property for the construction of an In-Line Master Pump Station. The master pump station is listed as a Mandatory need in the Comprehensive Plan. The construction of this facility is needed in order to accommodate new development based upon a level of service standard deficiency. This type of facility is not listed as a permitted use in the CBD (Central Business District) , therefore, a change of zone is required.

I T E M BEFORE THE BOA R 0 : The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation on a proposed rezoning from CBD (Central Business Center) to CF (Community Facilities). The subject property is located at the southwest corner of N.E. 4th Avenue and N.E. 3rd Street and contains approximately 0.26 acres. BACKGROUND: The subject property was originally platted in 1923 as part of the Model Land company's subdivision. Lots 1,2 and 3 were replatted in 1925 as part of the Benjamin's Subdivision. No other development history has occurred on the site, except for an off-site parking lot for the Elks Lodge located across N.E. 4th Avenue. The City is currently negotiating the purchase of the subject property for the construc~ion of an in-line booster master pump station. This pump station will eliminate the need for the existing master lift station at Veteran's Park. The City Commission initiated the change in zoning from CBD (Central Business District) to CF (Community Facilities) at its July 28, 1992 meeting. The petition is now before the board for a recommendation. D EVE LOP MEN T PRO P 0 S A L : The development proposal is to remove the existing asphalt and construct a 2,000 sq. ft. building. The building will consist of a pump room, electrical room, emergency generator room and a fuel storage area. A driveway will be provided from N.E. 3rd Street along with two parking spaces. This type of facility is not listed as a permitted use in the CBD zoning district, therefore, a change of zone is required. The most appropriate zoing designation for the use is CF. Z 0 N I N G A N A L Y S IS: REQUIRED FINDINGS: (Chapter 3) Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to the approval of development applications, certain findings must be made in a form which i. part of the official record. This may be achieved through information on the application, the Staff Report or Minutes. Findings shall be made by the body which hal the authority to approve or deny the development application. These findings relate to the following four areal. " P&Z ~taff Report Master Lift Statio. Page 2 Future Land Use Map. The use structures must be allowed in the zoning district and the zoning district must be consistent with the land use designation. The subject property is currently zoned CSO. The proposed CF district is a special purpose zone district primarily intended for facilities which serve public and semi-public needs. Pursuant to Section 4.4.21(S}(1}, public utility facilities e.g. lift stations are allowed as a permitted use. The property has a Commeccial Core Land Use Plan designation. Pursuant to Section 4.4.21(A}, the proposed zoning of CF (Community Facilities) is deemed compatible with all land use designations shown on the Future Land Use Map. Concurrency: Facilitie. which are provided by, or through the City shall be provided to new development concurrent with issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. These facilities .hall be provided pursuant to levels of service established within the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed facility is to operate mechanically, except for routine maintenance. Therefore, the facility will not have an impact on level of service standards. Consistency: Compliance with the performance standards set forth in Section 3.3.2, along with the required finding. in Section 2.4.5, shall be the basi. upon which a finding of overall consistency is to be made. Other objective. and policies found in the adopted Comprehensive Plan may be used in making of a finding of overall consi.tency. Section 3.3.2 Standards for Rezoninq Actions: The applicable performance standards of Section 3.3.2 and other policies which apply are as follows: B} Performance Standard 3.3.2{0} states. That the rezone shall re.ul t in allowing land u.es which are deemed compatible with adjacent and nearby land u.e both exi.ting and proposed. or that if an incompatibility may occur, that sufficient regulation. exist to properly mitigate adverse impact. from the new u.e. The surrounding zoning (north, south east and west) is CBD. Directly west of the site is the FEC railroad, to the south is a parking lot, to the north is industrial land use (sign company, contractor) and to the east is a lodge. The master pump station is to be enclosed in a concrete block structure which will be heavily landscaped. Since the facility will be operated mechanically there should be little or no adverse impact on the surrounding land uses. . . P&Z staff Report Master Lift Statio. Page 3 Construction on this parcel will diminish off-street parking for the Lodge by approximately 14 spaces. To our knowledge there is no legal tie between the Lodge and this off-site parking area. Since Lodge activities are normally conducted in the evening (when abundant on-street parking is available), the rezoning (and subsequest development) should not be detrimental to existing land use. Comprehensive Plan Policies: A review of objectives and policies of the adopted Comprehensiye Plan was conducted and the following applicable policies are noted: Capital Improvement Element: Under the inventory section of the Capital Improvement Element, the Master Lift Station is categorized as a Mandatory need. Mandatory needs must be met in order to accommodate new development based upon a level of service standard deficiency. Policy A-I.3 The C1ty shall continue to use revenue bonds funded by the water and sewer fund in order. to provide for the reconstruction and upgrading of critical components of the water and sewer systems. Public Facility Element: Ob1ective C-2: Upgrading of current sewer collection facilities shall occur on an accelerated schedule and shall be funded through a utility revenue bond. * Under the Requirement for Capital Improvement Implementation, a revenue bond in the amount of $22,000,000 has been issued to meet the needs identified in the Public Facilities Element. The master lift station conversion has been allocated $1,500,000. LOR Compliance: Pursuant to Section 2.4.5 (D)(1), a justification statement providing the reason for which the change is being sought must accompany all rezoning requests. The code further identifies certain valid reasons for approving the change being sought. The.e reason. include the following: 1. That the zoning had previously been changed, or was originally established, in error; 2. That there has been a change in circum.tance which makes the current zoning inappropriate, 3. That the reque.ted 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. '. P&Z Staff Report. Master Lift Stati~.. Page 4 Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(d)(5), the City Commission is required to make a finding that the petition will fulfill one of these reasons: A major criteria for the selection of the site, was that it be located next to the 36" force main that leads to the South Central Regional Plant. Three sites were selected which met this criteria. Two of the sites were located in residential areas, the third site which is located in the CBD zone district was selected, as it would have the least impact on the surrounding land uses. . The applicable reason is "3" above, the requested zoning is based upon circumstances particular to the site and/or neighborhood. Also, that the CF zoning is of similar intensity as allowed under the Future Land Use Map. REV I E W B Y o THE R S : Community Redevelopment Agency: At its meeting of August 6th, the Community Redevelopment Agency reviewed the petition and unanimously recommended approval for the subject property to be rezoned from CBD (Central Business District) to CF (Community Facilities). Neighborhood Notice: Formal public notice has been provided to property owners within a 500 ft. radius of the subject property. ASS E SSM E R T A R D COR C L U S ION S : The master lift station is listed as a mandatory need in the Comprehensive Plan. The construction of the facility is needed in order to accommodate new development based upon a level of service standard deficiency.

Based on direction received from the Commission and the fact that the last change was for Police and Fire personnel who retired prior to October 1, 1987, it appears to be appropriate to make this change effective for Police and Fire personnel who retired prior to October 1, 1990 as opposed to January 1, 1991, as had previously been proposed (see former City Attorney's memo dated March 5, 1993, attached) . The supplemental and minimum retirement income provided for by this ordinance would be paid effective April 1, 1993. Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 38-93 on first reading. If passed, second reading and public hearing to be held on May 11, 1993. ~ cudU~ ~-uJ11 199.3 ~ ~ 5)//13 Pf+S5ED 6 ~o . , ,;- . , -- .-. ._- --- -- --.---- ORDINANCE NO. 38-93 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 33, "POLICE ,;ND FIRE DEPARTMENTS", SUBHEADING "PENSIONS", OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, BY AMENDING SECTION 33.68, "SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT INCOME AND MINIMUM BENEFIT FOR MEMBERS WHO RETIRED PRIOR TO CERTAIN DATE", TO PROVIDE INCREASES IN BENEFIT LEVELS TO CURRENT RETIREES AND BENEFICIARIES AND TO RE'PoROACTIVELY PROVIDE INCREASES TO CERTAIN BENEFICIARIES; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE, A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Kurtz, City Subject: Increase in Police and Benefits for Current Retirees Our office is finalizing the draft to the Police and Fire Pension Plan that would allow current retirees a five percent increase in benefit levels provided they had retired before January 1, 1991. In addition, it is the intent of the ordinance that this benefit increase be applicable to all beneficiaries under the plan, not simply retirees. The ordinance will also have the effect of implementing those increases set forth in the 1988 amendment retroactively for beneficiaries that were not members of the plan (retirees) as has been discussed at the Pension Board and before City Commission. This in fact was the practice. I anticipate that the ordinance will be completed and be reviewed by Pension Board counsel and thus available for distribution on Monday, March 8, 1993. The City Commission had requested that they be provided with a listing of all current beneficiaries under the plan and the amounts that said beneficiaries receive so that they can determine whether the proposed increase in benefit level is appropriate. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact our office. JSK: j W bar. eret.. j sk '1J ., F!LE:PFCOL~ ...

COMMENTS FROM CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 27, 1993 l1.A.1. The City Manager stated there was an inquiry about changes to the east approach for left turns at Linton Boulevard and Military Trail. Staff has checked the construction plansj there are no intersection improvements associated with the four-laning work to be between Military Trail and Jog Road. Staff will contact the County Engineering Department with respect to the timing of intersection improvements and also inquire about the possibility of changes to the turn signal phasing to allow more time for the left turn movement. Usually, on requests of this type, it is quite awhile before we get a response because they have to do some studies. 11.A.2. The City Manager stated Commissioner Randolph had raised a concern about the traffic signal timing at West Atlantic and 10th Avenues. Staff is now gathering field data regarding the operations of this signal and should have some additional information within a couple weeks. 11.A.3. The City Manager stated that the six-laning of Atlantic Avenue, between Military Trail and Congress Avenue, has been deferred until after October 1st. In asking that the City seek inclusion of a right-turn lane from Homewood Boulevard on to Atlantic Avenue, staff does not have any information at this point that would indicate that an inclusive right-turn lane is warranted. However, staff has reviewed the construction plans to ensure that the construction will not interfere with adding a right-turn lane in the future. 11.A.4. The City Manager stated there was a comment expressing concern about an article in the newspaper with reference to a $250.00 per day fine for a citizen who had not complied with the City's code regulations. The City code does provide that the Code Enforcement Board may impose fines not to exceed $250.00 per day, that is the maximum for non-compliance on initial violations and up to $500.00 per day for repeat violations. The City Commission, however, has requested the Board to consider realistic fines that would not be compromised when compliance was achieved and to use stronger incentives to discourage repeat violations. A review of recent actions by the Code Enforcement Board reveals that fines in the range of $10.00 to $25.00 per week are actually being assessed and not $250.00 per day. The Board is more concerned with obtaining compliance than it is with assessing fines. 11.A.5. The City Manager stated there were also comments about two different items: 1 ) The five year plan, which had been submitted to the City by the Guardians, was received sometime in 1991. It did lay out a number of goals. The City has achieved quite a few of those goalsj while some of them are not really . , ~ appropriate at this point. One goal was to hire a Black chief or deputy chief. Staff does not feel that a deputy chief is warranted. The emphasis is on down-sizing the upper level management in the department to create a more cost effective streamline operation. Testing and promotions were concerns, whether they were fair or not. When Chief Overman came on board the October 1991 promotional tests were delayed until the whole testing procedure could be reviewed to ensure that it was relevant and fair. The review board composition was changed to include Blacks, Hispanics, and females. As a result of these changes four promotions were made within the ensuing months. One Black lieutenant and one Black Sergeant were among those promoted. A Black officer currently stands as number one on the Sergeant's promotion list should an opening occur. The other thing requested was sensitivity training. Cultural diversity and sensitivity training was held for the entire department during August 1992. In our efforts to include this type of training on a yearly basis, Sgt. McCullom, the training officer, was sent to school to be certified as an instructor for Cultural Diversity. An effort will be made to develop other in-house instructors, through him, to conduct seminars on this subject so that we have on-going training in this area. A fourth request was for minorities to be included in specialized units. We currently have minorities assigned to the Narcotics Enforcement Section, the Metro Unit, TAC operations, the Entry Team, Community Policing, Field Training Officer, Internal Affairs, and Criminal Investigations. Those were all goals for the first year, the second year goals included hiring more minorities. During the time Chief Overman has been here we have hired eight sworn officers, four have been minorities. 2) There was also reference to a letter from the Department of Justice which made six suggestions for improvement in the City. Four of those suggestions have been directly dealt with. One was the citizen complaint procedure, a large part of which was contained in the City's union contract. Staff did modify those procedures when the contract was renegotiated. The Police Department has a standing policy that all citizen complaints concerning officer misconduct will be taken and investigated. Training of all supervisors and managers has been accomplished on this subject and staff has made significant changes in format and recommendations in discipline procedures. Cultural awareness training, promotion procedures, were also suggested in this report. The City Manager provided the Commission with a detailed written report on this matter. 11.A.6. The City Manager stated there was a citizen that was concerned about drainage problems she had experienced on N.W. 10th Avenue. Staff did determine that at the time her car got flooded out, the new drainage system in N.W. 10th Avenue was not completed to the point where it would take care of the problem. Staff believes that has now been accomplished. -2- " , 11.A.7. The City Manager stated Ms. Brown from Sunrise, Florida, had commented about Officer James Cook being on administrative leave and confined to his residence. When an employee in the Police Department is placed on administrative leave for which they are being paid, they are asked to be in the residence, available where they can be contacted between 8 A.M. and 5 P.M., Monday through Friday. They are being paid for 40 hours per week, so staff feels its reasonable to ask them to do that. If they need to go somewhere or do something all they have to do is call in. They will be given time off. They are no more confined than anyone else who is working. It is not unique to Delray and Mr. Cook is not the first employee to come under this policy. 11. B. 1. William Andrews, 801 Palm Trail, stated he has an office at 217 N.E. 4th Street and he understands the Commission may have looked at widening N.E. 4th Street to four lanes. He would like to go on record as being vehemently opposed to that. He does not think the traffic count will ever warrant it. The area is 85% close to build-out. The more traffic put on this road the less desirable the area will become. Mayor Lynch stated the Commission only agreed to go to 2nd Avenue; so it would not go any further at this stage. The City Manager interjected that the request was that it be extended to Federal Highway. Staff was directed to put in a Comprehensive Plan Amendment that will allow the City to extend N.E. 4th to Federal Highway. Mr. Andrews requested that he be notified when this item comes before the Commission. 11.B.2. Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, stated the First Floor Conference Room, in which the City Commission workshop meetings are held, has an 40 person occupancy sign on the wall. Many nights there are as many 65 or 70 people crowded into that room. To alleviate the crowding situation, she suggests that the tables along the sides of the wall be taken down, because people are sitting on them; and, that the space around the wall be used for chairs. If the 40 person occupancy limit is upheld, she suggests that speakers be put in the hallway; or, that the Commission reconsider having those meetings in that room when there are discussion items which will draw a large number of people. Mayor Lynch stated he was at a County meeting and noticed that the County Commission meets in Chambers with the table in front of the gallery elevated several feet which places it on an equal level with the Commission. He suggested the City Manager explore doing something like that so the Chamber could be used for workshop meetings. 11.B.3. Lillian Feldman, President Delray Breakfast Club, requested clarification from the City Manager with regard to the -3- " Atlantic Avenue widening. She stated this project has been postponed since 1989. She asked if there was something the City could do about that. As she goes through Boca Raton, she sees that roads are being taken care of i why can I t the City do something about this. The City stated this is a State project. Mrs. Feldman stated she had previously mentioned the Yucca plants in the median on Linton Boulevard, just before the canal going east from Homewood Boulevard. To date nothing has been done. Part of the plants were cut, however, they still looks awful. The Yucca plants are overgrown and hanging over the tie that is supposed to be holding them. She suggested that the Yucca plants be removed and replaced with flowering trees. 11.B.4. Helen Coopersmith, 1222-D South Drive Way, stated Barwick Road has been closed for various reasons, in conjunction with the Middle School. There was no notification. She thinks in the future, people need to be notified. She wanted to know who was responsible. The City Manager stated it was Palm Beach County. Mrs. Coopersmith stated people are very concerned with the same thing happening when Atlantic Avenue goes under construction. She would like to know exactly when the construction on Atlantic Avenue will occur. The City Manager stated all we know at this point is that the construction is deferred until after October 1st. 11.B.5. William J. Hegstrom, 225 N.E. 22nd Street, stated he has a problem with the Notice of Nonconforming landscape that he received from the City. He thinks that the ordinance has been interpreted in such a way that he is being told to put in hedges, trees, sod and irrigation. There is not much hedge, because he does not want to trim it. When the Commission made the ordinance the word screening was used, now it is being interpreted as hedges. He wanted to register his objection. He also stated the people in Community Improvement had been very helpful. Mayor Lynch stated someone from the Communi ty Improvement Department would be in contact with Mr. Hegstrom. 11.B.6. Arthur Jackel, 784 N.W. 25th Avenue, state the $3.5 Million tennis complex is being paid for in large part, by residents through a utility tax. From the beginning, we knew the tennis complex had to used almost continuously by certain events which show a profit in order to avoid an annual operating deficit. It has been two months since the Virginia Slims Tournament and a manager/promoter for the complex has not been hired. He suggests a manager/promoter be hired now. -4- " 13.A.1. Mr. Ellingsworth stated he received a memo from Mr. Mouw concerning life support. The City Manager stated he had seen the memo asking why Boynton Beach was doing this and we were not. Boynton Beach has two fire station, where we have five. They also have less equipment. That is why the have a fire rating of five, while we have a rating of three. They have three people already assigned to every emergency medical service vehiclej while we have two. If the City went into the transport business in Delray Beach the City would have to staff all of those vehicles with an additional person 24 hours a day. It would be very costly for the City to do. He will write a response back to Mr. Mouw. 13.A.2.

Mrs. Smith inquired when the beautification east of the Atlantic Avenue bridge will take place.

Mayor Lynch stated he had several people call after the article of some people who are living under the Linton Bridge. Now that we are aware I staff should somehow address this.
