BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR DISCUSSION WITH THE HISTORIC
PRESERVATION BOARD
ACTION REQUESTED OF THE COMMISSION:
The following is for informational purposes only, no action
is requested.
BACKGROUND
Historic Preservation was established in the City of Delray Beach
with the adoption of Ordinance NO. 13-87 on March 10, 1987 which
also established the Historic Preservation Board.
The Department of State's Division of Historical Resources
considers the Delray preservation ordinance one of the best in
the State and often recommends it as a model to other Florida
cities who are considering establishing such an ordinance. It
has also been recommended to planners and preservationists in
Georgia and Alabama.
POWERS GRANTED TO THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD
Among the powers granted to the Historic Preservation Board upon
its creation are the nomination of historic districts, buildings
and sites to the Local and National Register of Historic Places;
consideration of certificates of appropriateness; developing
guidelines for historic preservation; provide public education
programs and grant variances from existing ordinances in historic
districts and for historic sites. Accomplishments of the HPB in
each of these are listed below.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: David T. Harden, City Manager~
SUBJECT: EMPLOYEE BONUS PROGRAM
DATE: March 1, 1991
Attached are outlines for models for two different types of bonus
programs. The first gives the awards or bonuses for suggestions. The
second provides for awarding bonuses in recognition of superior
performance. I would not recommend either of these exactly as
presented in the model. I would want to make some changes to adapt
them to our situation here in Delray Beach.
Based on previous brief discussions of this subject, I was uncertain
which type of bonus program the Commission was most interested in. The
two programs are not mutually exclusive. You could certainly have
both. At this point, the staff needs some direction from the
Commission. Does the Commission favor one program in particular over
the other, or should we pursue both?
In my view, the suggestion program is basically self-funding. In other
words, the savings to the City would more than pay the cost of the
program. In order to fund the performance bonus program, we would need
to divert funding from some other source, such as, the top-out bonuses
and make those funds available for performance bonus awards.

The committee shall consist of: deputy city manager, personnel director, and budget ·
officer.
The committee, in concert with department heads and program directors, shall formulate ·
all appropriate rules, regulations, and procedures necessary for program success. Ini-
tially, an evaluation form will be developed which contains the three-part perfonnance D
appraisal criteria outlined above. The evaluation form will contain ~ rating scale and be
flexible enough to adjust for departmental differences and any other special or unique
needs discovered during development of program procedures. ·
The committee, in concert with department heads and program directors, shall develop
and implement a comprehensive employee orientation and introduction process. This ·
shall include providing for any necessary education and training for supervisors and
employees. Strong employee participation will be encouraged as will the opening and
maintaining of communication channels between employees and supervision. ·
The committee is responsible for monitoring program results and measuring overall ·
program performance. It is also responsible for ensuring flexibility, simplicity, and
impartiality.
Before each evaluation period begins, the Performance Management Committee will --
meet with all department heads and program directors to discuss and layout specific
criteria for the upcoming review period which always coincides with the budgetary fiscal 1&
year. Immediately after adoption of the fiscal year's operating budget when the amount
of funds available for performance bonuses is known, the committee will meet with
department heads to determine the percentage weight given to each of the three II
components of the perfonnance evaluation criteria. It is not required that all departments
use the same relative weighting inasmuch as "special duties" which are directly tied to ·
desired accomplishments in the adopted budget may not apply equally to each and every
department and certainly not to each and every program funded by the budget. In no case
will the weight of "Special Duties" be greater than 50% of thð total award nor less than ·
10% of the total award.
Supervisors will determine how employees performed on "normal duties" and supervi-

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: David T. Harden, City Manager!J7t1
SUBJECT: USE OF COMPENSATORY TIME BY POLICE OFFICERS
WHO VOLUNTEER FOR THE KIDS AND COPS PROGRAM
DATE: February 25, 1991
John Elliott has put together a comprehensive overview of the
development of the Kids and Cops Program in Delray Beach. Attached is
a copy of his memo summarizing the development of the program. Also
attached are copies of those exhibits which relate to compensating
Police officers who volunteer to work in the program with compensatory
time off. The complete package of exhibits is available in my office,
if you wish to review any other exhibits.
It is evident that from the inception of the Kids and Cops Program,
Police officers have been given compensatory time for working in the
program. The program has been effective in working with young people
in the community. It has also generated a lot of positive publicity
for the community. Since compensatory time has been used from the
outset, I believe that to cut off the use of compensatory time at this
point would kill the program.
Another important factor to consider is that having Police officers
volunteer to work in the program may well be a violation of the Fair
Labor Standard's Act. A brief discussion of the pertinent section of
the Act is also included as one of Mr. Elliott's exhibits. While one
could perhaps argue that work with the Kids and Cops Program is
sufficiently different from regular Police work to allow it to be done
on a volunteer basis, it is certainly not obvious that this would be
the case. In view of the liability exposure for violation of the Fair
Labor Standard's Act, which I believe is treble damages plus
attorneys' fees, I would recommend against any action which might
expose us to such liability.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the resolution proposed for
adoption by the Commission would limit participation to 10 officers for
five hours per week. In working with the program to date, we have not
even begun to approach that limit. Furthermore, much of the
compensatory time granted would be taken as compensatory time at no

additional cost to the City. Even if we had maximum participation, and
we eventually had to pay for all of the compensatory time granted, the
maximum cost would be around $40,000.00 per year. It appears to me
that the results of the program would be well worth that cost. I
emphasize again that we do not anticipate having anywhere near that
out-of-pocket cost for the program.
In summary, I urge the Commission to accept the concept of granting
compensatory time to Police officers who volunteer to work in the Kids
and Cops Program, and adopt the resolution at your next regular
meeting.

FROM: John W. Elliott Jr., Assistant City
Manager/Management service~
DATE: September 8, 1989
SUBJECT: PILOT "KIDS & COPS" PROGRAM
The Ad Hoc Committee "Kids & Cops" have met several times to
outline a proposed program to aid in strengthening the
relationship between the Delray Beach Police Department and
the youth of our community.
On September 14, 1989, at 7:30 p.m., in the City Manager's
conference room this Committee will be meeting with coaches,
volunteer officers, the Police Chief and the Interim City
Manager to present the entire program implementation sched-
ule and highlights.
The pilot program will be six to eight weeks and will call
for four volunteer Police Officers who would adopt an
athletic youth team of their choice. We are starting with
football, since the season is current, with each officer
participating with that group throughout the season.
Highlights:
l. Work will be done during off-time hours, with officers
wearing clothing that will identify them as Police,
t
such as tee shirts or their regular uniforms, but
excluding their weapons.
2. Officers will serve as role models, give seminars,
interact with each group and in effect become part of
the team. In some instances they may even become a
part of the coaching staff. It is also anticipated
that prior to, or after games, the youngsters will hear
from various speakers or have some visual aids with
topics that will help them to know the Delray Beach

Police Department better. They will learn how to
identify activities that could lead them into trouble
or may be harmful.
3. At the end of the season, officers will give mementos
to each and every youngster who participated with the
"Kids & Cops" program.
4. We are proposing as compensation during this pilot
program, that each participating officer receive one
hour of compensatory time for every hour worked, with a
cap of fifteen hours per week. This would be worked
out with the Police Chief and the Interim City Manager.
The Ad-Hoc Committee members are: Vice-Mayor Mary McCarty,
Human Relations Committee Chairman Joe Valentino, Parks and
Recreation Superintendent Carol Olsen, Police Sgt. Ross
Licata, and F.O.P. Representative Sgt. Fred Zieglar.
Two other members, Kelly Brown, former Principal of Carver
Middle School has resigned due to reassignment . to Boca
Raton, and Tamara Williams, who has never attended the
meetings, will be replaced by comparable representatives.
Unless this item is requested to be placed on the City (This paragraph
Commission agenda, we will move forward and prepare a final omitted on copie;
report for them and the Human Relations Commission at the being "cc"d"
conclusion of the program. below).

SUBJECT: CITY'S POLICY REGARDING COMPENSATORY TIME
DATE: January 30, 1990
Pursuant to established City policy and in compliance with the
provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act, in all instances where
compensatory time is authorized to be granted to non-exempt employees
in lieu of overtime compensation, such compensatory time shall be
granted at one and one half times the hours worked. This policy is to
be applied consistently across the board and is not subject to
modification, contrary to any earlier instructions you may have
received regarding the Kids and Cops Program. Therefore, as you and I
have agreed, the one and a half hours worked calculation will be
applied retroactively to all hours worked by non-exempt police
personnel who have participated in the Kids and Cops Program.
- \
The Kids and Cops Program is the only exception authorized by me for
the granting of compensatory time in lieu of overtime compensation for
~ non-exempt employees. It is my understanding that the F.O.P. . dgrees
~ith the granting of.compensatory time for this program, however, by
copy of this memorandum to the F.O.P, I am requesting their written
formal agreement that compensatory time in lieu of overtime be granted
to non-exempt employees involved in the Kids and Cops Program.

by the Kids and Cops Committee and the Delray Beach Police Department.
PURPOSE:
To strengthen the relationships between our local youth and members of the
Delray Beach Police Department. To provide and encourage an alternative
for kids from engaging in criminal behavior (street crimes, drug use,

enjoyable activities. To instill upon the kids methods of improving their
quality of life by discussing such topics as, education, personal responsi-
bility, building self-esteem, consequences and alternatives to crime and
drugs.
GOAL:
-
The emphasis of this program is not only to strengthen the relationship
between the police and youths through positive interaction, but also to act
as a crime and drug prevention tool for our youths.
-

Principal, Delray Citizens for De1ray Police, youth representative and one
citizen not affiliated with any agency or group.
This group would be responsible for program develqpment and the program
should be implemented by the Delray Beach Policé Department under the
guidance of the Kids and Cops Committee.
PROGRAM ACTIVITIES:
Program activities will include educational activities, field trips,
counseling, special events, and athletic activities.
STAFFING:
Staffing will consist of volunteer Police officers. numbering no more than
ten (10) officers during anyone time. Assignments will be made in con-
junction with individual interests and endorsed by the Kids and Cops
Committee. These officers wil1 serve as role models. instructors, and
counselors to the youth representative involved in this program.
Officers will be selected through a process established by the Chief of
Police or his designee. Compensation will be in the form of compensatory
time at the rate of 1 1/2 hours for each hour worked with a maximum of five
(5) hours per week for any officer. Hours worked in a shift will be
considered work related time.
RECRUITMENT:
Recruitment of participants will be done by the Kids and Cops Committee in
conjunction with recommendations from the the Police Department. Possible
resources will include referral from churches. schools. Parks and Recrea-
tion Department, and citizens.
POSSIBLE FUNDING NEEDS:
-
While this program for the most part will be self sustaining. from time to
time it will have special funding needs for items such as. tee shirts
flyers. supplies, certificates, trophies. etc. On occasion when this need
arises we propose to take this request to the City Commission.
CONCLUSION:
All of us agree that the kids in our community are the foundation of our
future. We must make every effort to instill in them good values and
morals by example. This program is just one more step towards helping us
achieve our goals.

discrimination ·prohibitions of the FLSA will be applied with rega rd to the
J wage differential between those two employees.
J Volunteer Services
As previously stated. FLSA defines the term "employ" as including "to
J suffer or permit to work" and the Supreme Court has made it clear that FLSA
was not intended "to stamp all persons as employees who. without any express
J or implied compensation agreement. might work for their own advantage on the
premises of another." In administering FLSA. the DOL follows this judicial
I guidance in the case of individuals serving as unpaid volunteers in various
J community services. Individuals who volunteer or donate their services.
usually on a part-time basis. for public service, religious. or humanitarian
J objectives. not as employees and without contemplation of pay. are not
considered as employees of the religious. charitable. and similar nonprofi t
J organizations which receive their services.
J For example. members of civic organizations may help out in a sheltered
.-.
workshop or send members or students into hospitals or nursing homes to
] provide certain personal services for the sick or the elderly; parents may
assist in a school library or cafeteria as a public duty to maintain effective
] -
services for their children; or parents may drive a school bus to carry a
] football team or band on a trip. Similarly. individuals may volunteer to
perform such tasks as working with retarded or handicapped children or
] disadvantaged youth. helping in youth programs as camp counselors. providing
child care assistance for needy working mothers. soliciting contributions or
) participating in benefit programs for such organizations and volunteering
J other services needed to carry out their charitable or educational program.
,
The fact that services are performed under such circumstances is not
I sufficient to create an employee-employer relationship.

J -13-
" - --- .-

I
There are also situations in which employees may volunteer their
services in one capacity or another. usually on a part-time basis. and without I
contemplation of pay for services rendered. For example. an office employee
of a hospital may volunteer to sit with a sick child or elderly person during I
off-duty hours as an act of charity. An employer-employee relationship will I
not exist with respect to such volunteer time between thè hospital and the
volunteer or between the volunteer and the person for whose benefit the I
se rvice is performed. However. if an office employee volunteered to perform
office duties for the hospital by which he or she is employed. such time would [
be considered as compensable hours of work for purposes of FLSA. Similarly. a (
full-time paid firefighter could not agree to identify a portion of the
workveek as "volunteer time." An employee cannot be both a "paid" employee I
and a "nonpaid" volunteer while performing the same type of work for the same
.
employer. -
-
Seasonal Employees "
i.
The FLSA exempts employees of recreational or amusement establishments
which operate primarily on a seasonal basis from minimum wage and overtime [
requirements. Rxamples of recreational or amusement establishments which may
qualify for this exemption are outdoor swimming pools. amusement parks and ice [
skating rinks. In order to qualify for exemption the establishment must not [
operate for More than seven months of a calendar year or the average receipts
earned during a six month period of the prior calendar year were one-third or I
less of its average receipts for the other six month period of that calendar
year. I
Public Safety Employees (
The exemption for public safety employees is extremely limited. It

TO: MACGREGOR-HARTY, CITY CLERK
~U~
FROM: VACS, DIRECTOR
OF PLANNING AND ZONING
SUBJECT: WORK SESSION OF MARCH 5, 1991
NEIGHBORHOODS TASK TEAM REPORT - COMPLIANCE
BACKGROUND:
This documentation is supplemental to information being provided
by Lula Butler. It relates the Planning and Zoning Board review
and findings as they pertain to compliance with the adopted
Comprehensive Plan.
Overall, the NTT should be commended for the energy and thought
which they put into the effort. Many of their ideas will be
considered as we prepared neighborhood plans and redevelopment
strategies throughout the City.
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION:
The Planning and Zoning Board formally reviewed this item at it's
meeting of February 25th. The P&Z Board did not spend a lot of time
reviewing this item; however, Board members did periodically
participated in the NTT meetings. P&Z Member Jean Beer attended
several meetings of the NTT.
Findings of Noncompliance:
Pages 9 & 17: WIDENING OF 10TH STREET: The NTT recommended that
S. W. lOth Street not be widened.
Comment: The widening of S.W. 10th Street is identified as
a non-mandatory project within the Capital Improvements
Element (page III-H-2). Also, a specific allocation of
$2,000,000 for the widening is described in Part IV<
IMPLEMENTATION (page IV-G), as being a part of the Decade of
Excellence Bond Program.
Finding: The NTT recommendation is inconsistent with the
Comprehensive Plan. As such, that recommendation should not
be accepted by the City Commission without first amending
the Plan. There is not a recommendation (from P&Z) to
initiate such an amendment.
City Commission Documentation
Neighborhoods Task Team Report - Compliance
Page 2
Pages 13, 15, & 18: CHANGES IN ZONING: Changes in zoning were
recommended in the Atlantic High School Area, the Northwest Area,
and in the area described as Atlantic Ave south t:.o 10th, between
the FEC and U.S.1.
Comment: To accommodate each of these recommendations, it
is first necessary to amend the Future Land Use Map.
Undertaking such considerations in Amendment 91-1 (now in
process) is inappropriate. The Osceloa Park redevelopment
strategy project is now starting and will consider the
recommendations for the area along Atlantic.
Finding: The recommendations are inconsistent with the
Future Land Use Map. As such, they should be accepted by
the City Commission without first amending the Map. Such
amendments are to be considered as a part of formal
Amendment 92-1 (FY 91/92).
Page 22: RESIDENTIAL CATEGORY DESIGNATION FOR BREEZY RIDEGE
ESTATES: The current designation is Stabilization /
Revitalization. The NTT felt, based on its physical
characteristics, the neighborhood should be designated as Stable.
Finding: This new information justifies a change on the
Neighborhood Classification Map. The P&Z Board directed
that this change be included in Amendment 91-1, now in
progress.
Page 36: INFILL HOUSING PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS: The NTT
recommended "A fund for payment of impact fees is recommended to
promote and encourage participation in affordable housing".
Comment: This recommendation was misinterpreted to mean
the creation of an impact fee to go toward affordable
housing programs. It was clarified, after Board
consideration, that the fund would be with general tax
dollars and would be used to pay for already established
impact fees (parks, traffic, water, sewer, etc) ; thus
reducing the cost of delivery of the housing product.
Finding: Based upon the above clarification, the
recommendation is not inconsistent with the Comprehensive
Plan (staff change to previous finding).
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By motion, incorporate the above findings and actions in any
action associated with acceptance of the NTT Final Report.

NEIGHBORHOODS TASK TEAM
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations were put forth by the
Neighborhoods Task Team regarding overall concerns for housing
issues within the City of De1ray Beach and other related
activities:
HOUSING PROGRAMS FUNDING
The Housing Programs (Infill, Bootstrap and Neighborhood
Associations) should remain at a funding level of at least
$166,000 per fiscal year and, hopefully, escalating to $300,000
or more each funding cycle by fiscal year 1993-94.
For FY 90-91 the NTT recommends the following Allocation of
funds for the Housing Programs:
Infill $60,000
Bootstrap $100,000
Neighborhood Associations $6,000
HOUSING PROGRAM PRIORITIES
The NTT recommends the following neighborhoods receive
priority assistance for approved housing program activities
during the 1990-91 fiscal year:
( 1 ) SOUTHWEST - Southwest 1st Street south to Southwest
10th Street; between lOth Avenue and Swinton Avenue
( 2 ) NORTHWEST - Lake Ida Road south to Atlantic Avenue
Between 1-95 and Swinton Avenue
( 3 ) 22nd Street south to 8th Street
Between Swinton Avenue and Federal Highway
It is further recommended that two neighborhoods per fiscal
year be designated for priority consideration of housing
activities. Prior years designated neighborhoods with work
remaining undone or whose residents continue to apply for
participation in the programs should be given priority for
funding.
NEIGHBORHOODS TASK TEAM
It is recommended that the Neighborhoods Task Team meet
quarterly to assess staff progress and activities funded under
-4-
'"
the Housing Element. The purpose of the meeting which occurs
near the end of the fiscal year should be to determine the next
fiscal year's priority recommendations. These recommendations
should be predicated on the success of funded activities and the
identification of needs, the achievement of the stabilization
goal in each neighborhood and to ensure adequate funds are made
available to continue the housing program's progress.
REDEVELOPMENT AREA
The NTT recommends that the CRA be directed to officially
commit the West Atlantic Corridor be given priority in receiving
the next redevelopment plan, and the Osceola Park Area should be
considered for the 2nd plan.
The NTT recommends that in the Old Germantown Road area
redevelopment strategies be used to accommodate both industrial
and residential uses as well as to create an open space/park
area.
NEIGHBORHOOD PLANS
It was recommended by the NTT that the next formal
neighborhood plan be developed for the following area:
22nd Street south to 8th Street
Between Swinton Avenue and Federal Highway
SUPER BLOCK
The NTT recommended that the Super Block Concept be
considered for the South Swinton Area; from southwest 2nd to
southwest 10th street.
TRUCK ORDINANCE CRITERIA
The Neighborhoods Task Team offered the following hardship
criteria for consideration by Planning and Zoning in
neighborhoods zoned R1A:
1. Trucks wi'th a rating capacity greater than 1 ton may be
exempt from compliance with the ordinance when the homeowner can
demonstrate adequate parking spaces and screening of the vehicle
from his/her neighbor,
2 . Trucks with a rating capacity greater than 1 ton may be
exempt from compliance with the ordinance when the homeowner can
demonstrate the use of the truck in question is the sole or
primary source of income for the family and no parking facility
is available within City limits.
-5-
The NTT did not think that the Commission should give any
consideration to the income of the household. They recommend
that the Commission hear each case individually based on these
specific criteria.
DEFINITION OF FAMILY
The consensus position of the Task Team was that the
definition of family as proposed by staff is sufficient and they
support it as proposed. However, in addition to the revised
definition of family, the Task Team would like P & z to consider
other ordinance amendments such as prohibiting parking on unpaved
or unimproved surfaces and front yards. The task team is of the
opinion that the proper control of parking problems that are
apparent with overcrowded conditions, is a better tool used
jointly with the definition of family to control overcrowded
conditions in our single family neighborhoods.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
The NTT recommended that the Police Department's pilot
project for the Community Police Program be implemented in the
Northwest section of the city. The area is to encompass Northwest
3rd Avenue to Northwest 10th Avenue, Lake Ida Road south to
Atlantic Avenue.
The Task Team recommends that if the community Police Program
is successful the second area to receive this project should be
the area from Northeast 4th street south to Atlantic Avenue, from
Swinton Avenue east to Federal Highway, (Pineapple Grove area),.
The Neighborhoods Task Team recommends that the City
Commission consider interim Chief Richard Lincoln in the formal
search process for the Chief of Police position.
The Task Team recommends that the police department not be
actively involved in general code enforcement activities.
HOMELESS POPULATION
The NTT recognizes that there is a growing population of
homeless persons throughout the community and the impact of this
problem is becoming more apparent in both the residential and
commercial areas. NTT therefore recommends that the City
Commission direct staff to analyze the homeless problem in Delray
Beach and provide recommendations for their consideration that
would assist in mitigating current trends and conditions.
ALLEYWAYS
The NTT recommends that the alleyways in the Northwest
section, between 1-95 and Swinton, in particular, be analyzed for
-6-
possible improvement and creating access for additional offstreet
parking. It was also recommended that the alleyways that are not
used be considered for abandonment and deeded to the property
owners abutting such alleyways. The Task Team feels that this
issue is best addressed on a site by site basis. The group will
further address this issue at their next meeting (if the
Commission approves NTT meetings occurring on a quarterly basis).
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
An Investor Owned Property Association is recommended by the
NTT to be developed in order to communicate with the owners of
commercial and rental property in the areas where few formally
organized associations exist.
It was recommended by the NTT that the banks should be
encouraged to print loan and homeownership program information in
Spanish and Creole. Additionally, it was recommended that the
banks should employ both a Spanish and Creole speaking person to
assist customers.
The NTT recommends that an analysis of the school bus stop on
Northwest 2nd Avenue and 3rd Street, (northwest corner) be done to
identify improvements to better accommodate the children. The
existing fence is also too close to the road and appears to
contribute to an unsafe condition. The fence is located on City
property,
The Task Team recommends that development standards for the
Central Business District be modified to accomodate existing
conditions and limitations on commercial sites. Modification to
code requirements should be designed to encourage redevelopment
within the CBD.

NEIGHBORHOODS TASK TEAM
RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS
ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Listed below are the Neighborhoods Task Team final
recommendations for the areas described on the Neighborhoods
Assessed by the NTT map and the Description of the Neighborhood
Boundaries (See Appendices A and B):
1. Area: Southwest - southwest 1st street south to
Southwest 10th street
Between Southwest 10th Avenue and Swinton Avenue
REVITALIZATION/REHABILITATION
Team: Dr. Cadet, Joann Peart, Rosette Rolle
- There is a need for playgrounds (Tot Lots) throughout
the area. Existing vacant land in the neighborhood could be used
for this purpose. The committee also recommends the
implementation of an infill housing program that would utilize
existing vacant lots to create good, affordable housing
opportunities.
- There is a need for landscaping of properties and proper
maintenance and upgrade of existing landscaping. The team
recommended the development of a program based upon an "Adopt a
Tree" program.
- Recommend the creation of a program for planting and sOdding
yards with participation by the City and homeowners.
- Recommend creating a plant bank with a volunteer coordinator,
inexpensive, easy care. Have a xeriscape landscaping plan for
lots. Use garden clubs to assist in start-up plants.
- Boarded-up substandard structures should be demolished and
replaced with decent, standard and safe housing.
- Concentrated code enforcement is recommended for sw 14th and
15th Avenues. Visible usage of vacant lots for depositing trash
and other debris should be discouraged and this, and other such
illegal usages be strictly enforced.
- There is a strong need for a neighborhood/homeowners
association.
-12-
I
- The old Police Department building, currently owned by the
County and adjacent to existing residential units, needs exterior
maintenance specifically with the grounds.
- Recommend the City acquire from the County the Catherine strong
Center, structurally enlarge the facility and broaden the public
recreation program.
2 . Area: Atlantic High School Area
Gulfstream south to Northeast 22nd street

screened from the commercial property,
- The high school should be encouraged to provide better
maintenance of its property.
- Recommend abandoning Old Dixie Highway from Gulfstream Blvd.
south to 14th street where the triangle is located. The City
should acquire the property and turn it over to the contiguous
property owners.
3. Area: 22nd Street south to 8th street
Between Swinton Avenue and Federal Highway
STABILIZATION/REVITALIZATION
Team: June Carr, Deanna Hartman, Jean Beer

- 3rd Avenue area with the worst physical conditions,
needs code enforcement and Bootstrap Program
activities,
- 3rd Avenue should be widened.
- 17th Street needs a name change for consistency in street
directions.
- The team supports and recommends demolition of the old Pantry
Pride strip shopping center and the encouragement of a new
¡ development. The current proposed use of an indoor flea market is
not appropriate. (Code Enforcement should address the overgrown
triangle lot, Dixie Highway, across from the new Delray sign).
- "No Parkingll signs are needed in the area around the Swap Shop,
where appropriate, to eliminate and control blighted conditions
caused by illegal parking of Swap Shop customers.

REVITALIZATION/REHABILITATION
Team: Bill Harris, Steve Wexel, Deborah Dowd
- It is recommended that alleyways be used to assist in the
offstreet parking solution where homeowners agree.
- A plan to construct Tot Lots should be developed for some of
the existing vacant lots in the area.
- The area has a great deal of vacant land. Infill housing is
recommended to revitalize the area.
- The substandard buildings behind Spady Elementary School should
be acquired and demolished.
- It is recommended that a landscaping program be developed to
assist residential areas, in particular, elderly residents, in
planning and caring for their yards.
- City-owned property behind the utility bUilding needs
upgrading.
- The entire are would benefit from the implementation of the
Bootstrap Program (paint-up/fix-up, rehab, etc. ) .
- staff is requested to gather recent statistics on owner to
renter ratio for the area.
- Along Lake Ida Road, large parcels of vacant land are available
for the development of multifamily units which will not impact on
existing single family neighborhoods. Such small scale
multifamily units should be considered for the area.
- It is recommended that neighborhood associations be promoted in
the area. Crime watch programs should be established throughout
the area.
- Multifamily housing should be developed along Lake Ida Road.
S. Area: Atlantic Avenue Corridor
REDEVELOPMENT
Team: Frank McKinney, Dorothy Sutton, Gene White
- Atlantic Avenue East versus Atlantic Avenue west differences
should have the walls broken down in order to unite the city.
-15-
I
- Loitering rules should be enforced to rid the area of people
"hanging out" on the street.
- Concentrated Code Enforcement of nuisance abatement should be
implemented to mitigate blighted conditions caused by trash and
debris on properties.
- The street lighting should be upgraded on the one block areas
north and south of Atlantic Avenue,

security design for the Safe Neighborhood District should funding
become available.
- Existing vacant lots should be considered for redevelopment in
this corridor.
- Many skilled and unskilled people are available for employment
in an "unofficial labor pool" operation that exists at specific
locations on the Avenue. A program should be developed to create
employment opportunities for these people,
- Discontinue the use of residential properties for commercial
uses.
- police relations with residents are poor in this area. The
( establishment of a "walking beat" would be beneficial both in
developing a positive relationship with residents and curtailing
of loitering problems.
- Vacant lots can used for playgrounds.
- Additional landscaping should be planned.
- county-owned land (the old police station) needs maintenance.
- The committee feels that the number of liquor licenses that are
concentrated in the relatively small geographic area contribute
to the blighted condition and has an overall negative impact.
- The businesses should be organized into an association to
encourage a consensus approach and find resolutions to common
problems.
- Data is needed on unemployment in the area.
- Residential area needs major Bootstrap Program activities.
- Jay-walking through medians and other areas is dangerous and
should be controlled.

7 . Area: Southeast Atlantic Avenue south to 10th street
Between FEC railroad tracks and Federal Highway
REDEVELOPMENT
Team: Jim Johnson, Elijah Weatherspoon, Veronica Bowleg
- Noise pollution along the railroad track is a major problem.
-17-
I
- Federal Highway should be thought of as an asset and additional
redevelopment should be encouraged. Current businesses are
cramped along Federal Highway; they should be allowed to expand
to Southeast 4th Avenue.
- A block-by-block study of the entire area should be conducted
with consideration given to closing some of the access points,
i.e. 6th Street south to 2nd street, FEC to Federal Highway. The
area could be redeveloped to a mixed use treatment with a master
plan developed for the reconstruction of this area. The
neighborhood is ideal for the Super Block concept, Additional
land could provide space for the commercial expansion.
- A buffer is recommended between commercial and residential
uses. Whenever a wall is used, it sr.ould be on the residential
side. Current alleyways can be used for such commercial buffers.
- Properties east of the railroad tracks are stable but not being
maintained.
- In the area south of 6th Street the most deteriorated
properties are converted multifamily units within a predominantly
single family structures neighborhood. It is recommended that
the city acquire these units and convert the area back to single
family structures, It is further recommended the property north
of 6th Street, which is more deteriorated be considered for
¡ demolition and use change to allow for commercial development
especially between 2nd and 3rd Streets.
- FPL building should have increased buffering and landscaping to
improve the property aesthetics.
- Northeast 2nd street to Northeast 4th street - older, existing
commercial area is deteriorated. Should be cleaned up and
expanded to Swinton Avenue and redeveloped into a more viable
economic use,
- The committee recommends that the multifamily units on South
Swinton adjacent to FEC railroad track be demolished and a better
use of the land be identified. Existing noise pollution problem
interferes with the viability of residential units at this
location. More commercial uses could be applied to area adjacent
to railroad tracks. FEC track area ideal for public uses, 1. e.
parks, recreational facilities, churches, etc.

CITY OF DELRAY BEACH
BOOTSTRAP PROGRAM
The Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan mandates that
a Bootstrap Rehabilitation program be established to assist City
residents with maintaining and enhancing their neighborhood
environment. The purpose of this program is to address exterior
improvements related to single family and multifamily dwellings
including building code items, landscaping, appearance and
parking. This program shall not apply to life and safety matters.
The program shall provide for the phasing of improvements, which
are necessary to meet the applicable codes, over a period of
time. The schedule of improvements shall be based upon the
property owner's ability to pay and upon the need to enhance the
quality and character of the neighborhood. Property owners shall
be eligible for grants, matching funds or loans depending upon
their income and their ability to qualify for bank loans,
PROGRAM DESIGN AND STRATEGIES
Applicants will be selected from single family dwelling
residents who demonstrate a need for exterior dwelling
improvements. City personnel will determine if the needed
improvements fit the criteria of building code violations,
landscaping, appearance or parking. These improvements will be
considered as they will enhance the overall ambiance of
neighborhoods in NTT recommended areas and in conjunction with
CDBG rehabilitation projects that have occurred or will occur
within these prioritized areas. City personnel will determine
the eligible improvements, prioritize the execution of the
repairs based upon the impact of the work on the overall
neighborhood enhancement and the ability of the property owner to
meet the expense of the work.
Eligible improvements will consist of:
Exterior painting
Replacing broken windows, shutters, screens
Roof repairs, replace or clean
Landscaping
Driveways and carport repairs
Fence repairs
Replacement of missing or rotten siding
Gutters and downspouts
Porch and stair repairs
OTHER COMPONENTS
The program will also consist of a paint-up/fix-up component
which will include simple repairs, paint jobs, yard clean-up and
simple landscaping work. As a part of this program the city will
make arrangements with paint suppliers and nurseries to provide
-32-
·
supplies at a lower than retail cost to those property owners
eligible for work under this program. Supplies will also be
supplemented by labor from volunteers on those properties owned
by senior citizens or others who are unable to perform their own
work. These volunteers will provide labor to clean yards and
perform simple landscaping and painting tasks.
The Neighborhood Housing Specialist will advertise the
availability of funds for this program with priority to residents
within the neighborhoods prioritized by the Neighborhoods Task
Team as the first areas to receive the programs established by
the Housing Element of the Comprehensive plan,

NEIGHBORHOODS TASK TEAM
INFILL HOUSING PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS
The following are recommendations made by the Neighborhoods
Task Team in relationship to the Infill Housing Program:
1. The NTT recommends that $60,000 be expended during
fiscal year 1990-91 for infill housing program activities.
2. The Task Team recommends that within the RlA zoning
districts, where infill housing will occur, a lot with 50 feet
frontage is buildable and considered suitable and decent for
affordable housing. All other setback requirements must be met.
3, NTT supports the marketing and promotion of infill
housing for moderate and above income households.
4, The NTT supports the waiver of permit and other fees
within the city Commission's purview as an incentive for private
participation in affordable housing efforts.
5, The NTT recommends the creation of a fund for the
payment of impact fees to promote and encourage participation in
affordable housing.
6 . The Neighborhoods Task Team recommends that Infill
Housing shall be a priority consideration in those areas (Most
predominantly Southwest and Northwest Delray) where the majority
of the vacant land occurs and due to the nature of the new
housing construction activity, will remain as a top priority in
these neighborhoods until the vacant land has been adequately
placed back on the tax rolls and the area has been stabilized.
7 . The Task Team recommends that the City consider
developing a program for the buydown of interest to a lower
interest rate for low income family borrowers.
8. The Task Team recommends that unsecured and zero percent
interest rate loans be made available for all horneownership and
rehabilitation programs,
9. The Task Team has recommended that a garden project
similar to the program in Boynton Beach be considered for use on
the vacant lots, in addition to the Infill Housing Program.
10. The Task Team recommends the sponsorship of a design
competition which would eliminate normal cost of design for
affordable units. staff and Jim Johnson will organize and execute
the activities for such a competition.
-36-
I
11. The NTT recommended that a lease/purchase option
program be considered to assist families (persons) who are
otherwise unable to qualify for homeownership through
participating banks. staff must first examine the options for
such a program, 1. e. supervision of the program and management of
the premises if such a program is instituted. Assistance from
the city Attorney will be required.
12. The NTT recommended that staff consider a "sweat
equity" portion of the Infill Housing Program to assist
homeowners in lowering the total cost of their unit, staff will
develop criteria and supervision of such a program.

CITY or DELRAY BEACH
INFILL HOUSING PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Purpose
With the adoption of the 1990 Comprehensive plan, The city
Commission through Goal Area B of the Housing Element mandated
the establishment of a "Rehabilitation Strategyll to be composed
of programs and activities aimed toward stabilizing and
revitalizing areas of the City designated as
"Rehabilitation/Revitalizationll areas. Identified as an element
of the "strategy" is a program to redevelop deteriorating
neighborhoods through an infill housing approach. The Infill
Housing Program as described below will serve as that component
of the Rehabilitation Strategy,
Proqram Concept and Desiqn
The Infill Housing Program shall be consistent with the
policies and procedures mandated by the Housing Element of the
Comprehensive Plan, specifically Goal Area B, Policy B-2.3(f).
The goals of this program are threefold:
( 1 ) to provide decent housing opportunities at
affordable costs for existing residents who are of
moderate income level;
( 2 ) to stabilize and preserve neighborhoods through
redevelopment, eliminating blight;
(3 ) to create an atmosphere for a mix of income levels
within areas with physical conditions which
designate them as stabilization/revitalization
areas on the residential categorization map. This
program is intended to be quite specific in some
areas, yet flexible enough in other areas to allow
for modifications when necessary to facilitate
accomplishing overall goals.
Land Inventorv
An inventory of existing vacant parcels within the
revitalization/rehabilitation areas shall be completed by the
Neighborhood Housing Specialist. The inventory should identify
vacant parcels which would meet the minimum and maximum standards
for the designated zoning district, ownership, legal descriptions
and proposed costs of any available sights. A map will be
created to easily locate available parcels and identify each
parcel's ownership.
-38-
I
Developer/Contractor Participation
The City will sponsor a design competition to select 3 or 4
sets of specifications and floor plans for affordable units.
These plans and specifications will be designed for 3 and 4
bedroom/2 bath units, created with building materials of the
best, yet affordable, quality, with the assistance of a members
of the Neighborhoods Task Team, staff and other qualified judges,
plans and specifications will be selected based upon established
criteria and guidelines to be developed specifically for the
competition. A pool of pre-qualified contractors/builders that
have bid on these plans and specifications, will be available for
the homebuyers selection.
Selected contractors/developers will be judged by a
selection team composed of Neighborhoods Task Team members, city
of Delray Beach staff and other qualified judges. The criteria
for selecting developers/builders shall include:
l. Quality of product offered;
2. Cost of product per square foot;
3. construction experience and track record;
4, Financial capability of developer/contractor, i.e.
credit history, ability to obtain construction
financing;
5 . Track record for ability to produce a structure in
a timely manner;
6. Ability of offer a product which meets applicable
code requirements.
Proposals which provide for mixed residential housing types (zero
lot-line, multiple-family, conventional single family
housing) will be encouraged. Single units on single lots are
acceptable for this program.
Subject to approval by the city Commission on a project by
project basis, the following items shall be considered as
incentives provided by the City of Delray Beach to developing
vacant lots at affordable costs:
1. Waiver of Permit Fees
2. Payment of utility Connection Fees
3 . Installation of infrastructure
4 . Materials and installation of landscaping
-39-
I
'It 5. City Acquisition of suitable land
* (Priority for construction will be given to vacant
properties owned by qualifiable residents desiring to
replace single family units, Basic acquisition
procedures shall be utilized in acquiring property,
adhering to all applicable Federal, state and Local
regulations governing such acquisition. Displacement is
not anticipated since this program will concentrate on
the substantial vacant parcels of land already existing
in the Revitalization/Rehabilitation areas. However,
should there occur situations where occupied real
properties are subject to acquisition for the purposes
of this program, the City shall adhere to all applicable
policies regarding displacement,
A formal agreement which protects the City's investment and
assures the affordability of the product shall be developed and
executed between the developer/builder and the City of Delray
Beach.
Financial Institutions Participation
Formal agreements between banking institutions and the City
will be required. Willingness on the part of Banks to offer
affordable mortgage plans both to developers and potential
homebuyers is essential to the success of this program. In order
to reduce the cost of the product, City staff will be trained to
"pre-qualify" potential homebuyers, and when necessary, assist
small builders in obtaining construction financing.
As a part of the qualifying process, sweat equity will be
considered as part of the buyers contribution to the total cost.
Criteria and supervision of such a program will be developed by
staff.
A lease/purchase option program shall be considered to
assist families (persons) who are otherwise unable to qualify for
homeownership through participating banks. staff must first
examine the options for such a program, i.e, supervision of the
program and managment of the premises if such a program is
instituted. Assistance from the City Attorney will be required.

$60,000 has been recommended by the Neighborhoods Task Team
