State Representative Bill Hager stated the Florida Legislature meets 40
days out of the year and he represents House District 89 which starts in Boca Raton
continues along the coast up to West Palm Beach and moves over to the Town of Palm.
Beach and Singer Island. Representative Hager stated they finished with the balanced
budget the same day the Federal government's bonds were down rated to AA and the
06/04/13
State of Florida's were upgraded to AAA +. He stated the State of Florida schools rank
e in the United States up from 35 20 years ago. Representative Hager stated with regard
to the funding for the current fiscal year they added another $1.5 billion to the public
schools and Florida has predicated choice because everything about free markets and
mankind shows us that products and services get better with competition. He stated in
the State of Florida there are 500 charter schools and there are 80,000 children standing
in line waiting for a slot with the charter school system. Representative Hager stated the
unemployment rate in the State of Florida is 7.1 %. He stated he was a co- sponsor of the
sober homes legislation and noted they were not successful in getting this through;
however, they will be back at it. Representative Hager stated he is familiar with the sober
home issue and the weaving the thread through the needle and that thread is between
Federal Housing Law, Local Law, Constitutional issues and he is also familiar with the
challenges that sober homes create in the communities. Representative Hager thanked
the Commission for their service.
5.B. State Representative Bobby Powell, Jr. -- Update on Lezislative
Session (Addendum)
Representative Bobby Powell, Jr. stated this year in session they had an
opportunity to work together and get things done in a non - partisan manner. Mr. Powell
stated they are broken up into Republicans and Democrats and noted that we have our
own delegation (Palm Beach County Delegation). Representative Powell stated a couple
things that affect us are the sober homes and beach renourishment. He stated this year
with regard to sober homes, there was no major legislation that passed; however, there
was money put into the budget and provides the language for the Department of Children
and Families to use funds to establish a license and registration process for sober homes,
facilities and their operations. He stated internet cafes were all closed down this year and
with regard to gambling that was the only gaming legislation that they tackled this year in
session. Representative Powell stated with regard to education in Florida kids who were
born in this country but their parents were not if they go to college they would not have to
pay out -of -state tuition but international fees in order to go to college. He stated this year
this was changed so that if a student was born in the United States regardless of whether
their parents were born here or not they have the same opportunity as other students who
were born here because they are citizens of Florida and therefore can request in -state
tuition. Representative Powell stated there is now a dual system where a student can get
a scholar diploma or certified diploma to allow them to be certified in a specialized field
and still have a high school diploma. He stated with regard to elections, it limited the
process, eliminated many days of early voting, and shortened timeframes. This year that
was changed with House Bill 7013 which allows for longer days for early voting
(minimum of 8 and a maximum of 14) and gives the Supervisor of Elections an
opportunity to have early voting in places where they can accommodate more people.
Representative Powell stated they passed a Transportation Bill with regard to red light
cameras where there is no longer a fine for turning right on red. He stated in Palm Beach
County there are approximately 297,000 people who do not have healthcare coverage.
2
06/04/13
Representative Powell stated this year there was discussion of several plans; however, the
House and the Senate could not agree on a plan for everyone so consequently nothing
was passed.
Mayor Glickstein thanked both State Representative Hager and State
Representative Powell, Jr. for the updates and the Commission looks forward to working
with them in the upcoming months in the next legislative session to further some of the
priorities.
Mr. Jacquet stated he has had the opportunity to work closely with
Representative Powell and Representative Hager when he was a Legislative Aid in the
State Legislature and feels that the Palm Beach County Delegation is one of the best
delegations across the state and thanked them for representing the City of Delray Beach
very well in Tallahassee.
6. Comments and Inquiries on Agenda and Non - Agenda Items from the
Public Immediately Following Presentations
6.A. City Manager's response to prior public comments and inquiries.
With regard to Mr. Blum's comments regarding the City's survey, the City
Manager stated the City will probably only conduct that survey every second or third year
not annually.
Secondly, the City Manager stated staff is looking into Ms. Vinik's
request to discontinue water fluoridation. The City Manager stated the Health
Department would like to make a presentation to the City Commission regarding the
benefits of fluoridation and noted staff will schedule that at some point in the future.
The City Manager stated he had a follow -up meeting with Christina
Morrison regarding the Financial Review Board (FRB) and the City is going to try and
use them more expeditiously for matters involving the City.
Lastly, the City Manager stated regarding ADA compliance with street
signs, staff is going to look at this issue to make sure they are ADA compliant.
6.B. From the Public.
6.B.1. Bob Ganger, Chairman of the Florida Coalition for Preservation
located in Delray Beach commented about the 2013 award designating the City of
Delray Beach as one of America's best restored beaches. Mr. Ganger stated this is an
important achievement and gave kudos to everyone who worked on that. He stated
healthy beaches and dunes have contributed to the economic well -being and quality of
life of the people who live in Delray Beach but it is part of how the city got the
designation of things such as the All - America City and a great place to have fiin. Mr.
Ganger stated a relatively new coalition of private citizens has been formed to encourage
3
06/04/13
coastal residents to become more informed about beach protection issues and to work
with government representatives to find solutions that best meet the needs of coastal
communities throughout the Palm Beach area. He stated the Beach Property Owners and
the Coalition are two of roughly twelve individual citizens groups that are working
together with a group called "Protect Our Beaches ". Mr. Ganger stated their job is to
make sure people understand the issues that they communicate with elected officials who
can do something about the issues and in particular with people at the federal, state, and
county level. He invited the Commission to attend a meeting regarding beach protection
issues on Saturday, June 15; 2013 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Boca Raton Resort
and Club (Valencia Room).
6.11.2. Lisa Ouillian, 925 S.E. 2nd Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated
there is a typo on the Agenda regarding Item 9.D., Special Event Request/Give Away
School Supplies, and noted this should read S.E. 2nd Avenue not S.E. 3rd Avenue. She
expressed concern that this will be going on until 10:00 p.m. and stated that since this is a
very high crime area and for anything after dark the City needs to consider having Delray
Beach Police instead of security provided by the event sponsor.
6.13.3. Dr. Victor Kirson, D.D.S., 2050 Alta Meadows Lane 42110, Delray
Beach, FL 33444 (President of the Board of Directors of Tierra Verde at Delray
Beach and Member of the Alliance), commented on the discussion of the LDRs and
stated Delray Beach is two cities; one in season and one not in season. Dr. Kirson stated
all the congestion during season is not caused by increased density but instead it is caused
by tourism. He stated the City needs the development of these downtown units and the
extra density of people that can walk or ride a bike to these facilities and keep them
going. He stated right now there are two well -known restaurants that are close to going
under.
6.B.4. Jim Smith, 1225 South Ocean Boulevard #202, Delray Beach, FL
33483 (Chairman of S.A.F.E. Organization), stated at the last meeting the S.A.F.E.
Delray Outreach Specialist made a presentation on a survey on pedestrian signals along
Atlantic Avenue. Mr. Smith stated regarding the ped signals on 2nd and 4th Avenue, he
suggested taking out the push button ped signals completely and leaving the walk man
signs so when the light turns green it turns on and it stays on until it is time to count
down. Mr. Smith stated with the heavy pedestrian environment on Atlantic Avenue just
having the "walk" sign on will do the trick.
7. AGENDA APPROVAL.
The City Manager requested to remove Item 9.C., Initiation of an
Amendment to Land Development Reeulations (LDR) from the Agenda.

Gray. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Gray — Yes; Mayor

06/04/13
Mayor Glickstein asked the Commission to disclose their ex parte
communications. Mr. Frankel stated he met with the applicant at their attorney's office
and also spoke with Jim Knight about the project. Mrs. Gray stated she spoke to
Attorney Michael Weiner and the applicant. Mr. Jacquet stated he spoke to the applicant
and Jim Knight. Mrs. Petrolia stated she spoke to the applicant (Mr. Biggs and Mr.
Mathias), and Attorney Michael Weiner. Mayor Glickstein stated he received emails
from Attorney Michael Weiner, Architect Brewer, Representatives of the applicant, other
parties: Bokius, Singlust, Smith, Walton, Ramsey, Biggs, Ager, Groth, Mauncy, and
Disipio. Mayor Glickstein stated he has had no dialogue with any party.
Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning, entered the
Planning and Zoning Department project file #2013 -030 into the record.
Mr. Dorling stated this is consideration of two conditional uses; one, to
increase the building height to a maximum of sixty (60) feet and another to allow a
density increase of over 30 units to the acre up to 69.52 units per acre. He stated the
property is located adjacent to the Bellsouth Telecommunication building. Mr. Dorling
stated this property currently contains an office building and a parking lot which was
constructed in association with the telecommunication building located immediately to
the west in 1973. The off -site parking lot is 66 parking spaces tied to that building and as
part of this proposal they are providing a parking garage which accommodates the
parking with the retail development but also those 66 that are allocated to parking spaces
that are allocated to the adjacent development. The required findings for both the height
and the density are explained and attached in the Planning and Zoning Board staff
reports.
Mr. Dorling stated there are nine (9) standards and two (2) of those have
not been met; five (5) that they do meet and one (1) that does not apply and one (1) that is
partially met. He stated for the two (2) standards they do not meet both of those are
related to mitigating mass and scale of buildings; one of those relates to increased
setbacks and massing of buildings as you go up. Mr. Dorling stated this is a six (6) story
building and stories 3, 4, 5, and 6 do not comply with the increased setbacks or exceed
floor area maximums that are identified in the code. Mr. Dorling stated the other one that
they do not meet relates to increased landscaping to mitigate the mass of the structure and
that in part is a function of a modification they have made where they have reduced the
setbacks along 2nd Street from 15 feet to 5 feet. He stated in doing so they removed
larger scale landscaping which helps to mitigate the mass of the building. Mr. Dorling
stated meeting five (5) of the nine (9) standards staff does not believe the applicant meets
the necessary standards to comply and support the necessary density. He stated even if
they were to meet all of those standards the Commission is still within its means to deny
the project because it is not compatible in terms of building, mass, and intensity of use
with surrounding developments.
At its meeting of May 20, 2013, the Planning and Zoning Board where a
recommendation of approval was made for the increase in density failed on a 3 to 4 vote
(Durden, Lynch, Pierre - Louis, Shutt dissenting). The Board then made to
06/04/13
recommendation to deny the building height which was approved with a 6 to 1 vote
(Franciosa dissenting).
Mrs. Petrolia asked if the applicant meets the standard regarding the
garage and obscuring the parking spots. in response, Mr. Dorling stated the applicant
does not meet the LDR requirement.
Mrs. Gray asked which one of the letters the applicant has not complied
with. Mr. Dorling stated staff believes the applicant does not meet (a) and (i); the five (5)
standards they meet are (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g); (h) does not apply and (b) is the one the
applicant partially met. Mrs. Gray asked where in proximity to this project is the SOFA
project. Mr. Dorling explained to Mrs. Gray from the aerial photo where the SOFA
project is in relation to this project.
Mayor Glickstein stated in terms of the calculations of the 60 foot height
staff is not making any distinction in there because there is a 6th story. Mr. Dorling
confirmed that staff is not making any distinction because there is a 6th story.
Robert Mathias, New Century, 100 East Linton Boulevard, Delray
Beach, FL, stated the site is located two blocks south of Atlantic Avenue and SOFA's
building is adjacent to them.
Geor, a Brewer Brewer Architects Inc. 85 S.E. 4�h Avenue Delray
Beach, FL 33483, stated they corrected the deficiencies of their project and they now
meet the requirements; however, staff has not had a chance to review and confirm. Mr.
Brewer gave a brief overview of the project and noted on 2nd Street the setback for the
upper floor beyond the 4' floor is 150 feet. He stated he hopes this will become
attractive to commercial tenants that will provide services for the neighborhood and the
residents that will live here.
At this point, Mr. Mathias gave a few brief comments about the
Comprehensive Plan and the density per acre.
Mayor Glickstein asked if staff stands by their calculations and staff
report. Mr. Dorling stated he supports the staff report and noted that the applicant's own
presentation tells the Commission that they do not meet it yet but they can and they are
asking the Commission to consider that. However, Mr. Dorling stated right now the
plans do not meet it at this time.
Mr. Mathias stated tonight they are asking for density and height and
SPRAB working with staff and then going to certification gives them the ability to build
something.
Brief discussion followed between Mr. Mathias and the Commission.

Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444, stated there is precedent for tabling even after the
public is speaking.
The applicant requested that the Commission table this item to a date
certain of August 6, 2013.
Mr. Frankel moved to table this item to a date certain of August 6, 2013,

A public hearing was held having been legally advertised in compliance
with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray Beach, Florida.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance and stated at the last
meeting this was postponed to this evening because staff did not have the actuarial
calculations of no impact from the Police and Fire Pension Boards actuary which is
required. The City Attorney stated the City now has that which states there is no impact
and this is the ordinance that changes the City's code based on the ratification of the
agreements that the City has with the Police and Fire Pension where new hires are paying
the extra 3% and they are not entitled the actual benefit enhancement.

9.B. CONDITIONAL USE RE UEST/CRISTO PARA TODAS LAS
NACIONES: Consider approval of a conditional use request to allow the establishment
of a church for Cristo Para Todas Las Naciones (Christ for all Nations) within the
Congress Square shopping center, located at 2280 West Atlantic Avenue, Suite# 2206.
(Quasi - Judicial Hearing)
Chevelle D. Nubin, City Clerk, swore in those individuals who wished to
give testimony on this item.
Mayor Glickstein asked the Commission to disclose their ex parte
communications.
Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning, entered the
Planning and Zoning Department project file #2013 -118 into the record.
Mr. Dorling stated this is a conditional use request to allow the conversion
of 3,499 square feet into a church use. This will occupy tenant space located within
Congress Square Shopping Plaza at the southwest plaza of West Atlantic Avenue and
Congress Avenue. Mr. Dorling stated this facility would like to occupy the space in the
southwest corner of the site. He stated their intent is to utilize the parking towards the
rear of the shopping center which is underutilized. He stated the church will have 124
members and will operate on Thursday evenings between 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on
Saturdays between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. and on Sundays between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00
p.m. Mr. Darling stated required findings are made in the staff report to LDR Section
3.11 as it relates to potential concerns with this type of use in a commercial shopping
center as it relates to activity levels in the overall center. Mr. Dorling stated initially
there was a concern that church use would not be open during regular retail hours and
would be closed most of the normal shopping hours in a retail center. However, Mr.
Dorling stated this location is tucked back in the southwest corner of the site and
mitigates some of those concerns. He stated the Code has attempted to address these
concerns by limiting the maximum size of such uses to 3,500 square feet maximum and
requires a minimum separation of 750 feet between similar uses. Mr. Dorling stated this
is a portion of the first floor that was previously occupied by a vocational school so in
this case staff believes those concerns are mitigated. He stated required findings under
LDR Section 2.4.5(E)(5) are also made in the staff report and staff does not believe this
use will hinder redevelopment of any of the nearby properties. Mr. Dorling stated a
CPTED review was done with this and it was a suggestion by the Police Department that
11
06/04/13
additional camera, lighting, and fencing improvements be included and is identified as
conditions of approval #1 -5 in the City Commission documentation.
At its meeting of May 20, 2013, the Planning and Zoning Board
considered this item and a public hearing was held in conjunction with the conditional
use request. The Board had discussions regarding the appropriateness of the conditional
use request and after their deliberations; the Board moved a recommendation of approval
for the conditional use request on a unanimous vote of 7 to 0 by adopting the findings of
fact and law contained in the staff report.
Jairo Gonzalez, Artech Designers and Enstineers, LLC, 362 Muneco
H, Delray Beach, FL 33446 (Engineer of the project), stated their project is located in
the Congress Avenue plaza between Atlantic Avenue and Congress Avenue. Mr.
Gonzalez stated they are not going to touch any exterior of the building and they will not
impact the aesthetic or the general regulations of the plaza. He stated they are going to
devote 150 square feet for a bookstore for religious items.
Mrs. Gray asked if the music coming from the church will affect the
neighboring stores, etc. Mr. Dorling stated his understanding is that those concerts would
be internal to the building and would not affect anything external.
Raul Torres, 14401 South Military Trail, #F -101, Delray Beach, FL
(church member, stated with regard to the music the church will have meetings on
Sunday mornings and Mondays.
Mrs. Gray stated she is concerned with the retail and a restaurant nearby
and asked staff if they feel this is okay. Mr. Dorling stated since it is internal to the
project he does not see it as a compatibility concern.
Mr. Jacquet stated on page 7 of the Planning and Zoning Staff Report
under the parking section where it lists "the church will operate Thursday evenings
between 7:30 p.m. (Worship and Prayer); Saturdays between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.
(Worship and Prayer); and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. (Sunday school) and
9:00 a.m. — 11:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. -- 1:00 p.m. (Worship and Prayer)." Mr. Jacquet
stated if the Worship and Prayer is at night then there would be a problem. Mr. Dorling
clarified this should read Thursday evenings, Saturdays in the morning, Sundays from
9:00 a.m. —1:00 p.m.
Mr. Jacquet asked staff to explain the purpose of the picket fence
perimeter. Mr. Dorling stated the Police Department suggested that a fence be provided
in this location and creates a barrier and forces someone to go around. Mr. Jacquet
stated with regard to CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
comments and staff stated that the applicant has taken some steps as far as security and

9.D. SPECIAL EVENT REQUEST/GIVE AWAY SCHOOL SUPPLIES:
Consider approval of a special event sponsored by Double Action/Caribbean Grocery for
"Give Away School Supplies," proposed to be held on July 26, 2013 from noon to 10:00
p.m.; grant a temporary use permit per LDR's Section 2.4.6(F) for the closure of S.E. 3rd
Avenue between S.E. 2nd Street and S.E. 3rd Street, and authorize staff support for
traffic control and security, stage use and setup, City generator use, barricading, trash
boxes and light tower rental; contingent upon receipt of a deposit in the amount of
$300.00, a Hold Harmless Agreement and Certificate of Event Liability Insurance no
later than July 11, 2013. The event sponsor will pay 100% of costs for an estimated
amount of $2,470.00.
Robert A. Barcinski, Assistant City Manager, stated this item is a request
for the Commission to consider approval of this special event request sponsored by
Double Action/Caribbean Grocery and noted a correction that it is S.E. 2nd Avenue
closure not 3`d and would require staff support with police, traffic control, stage use, set-
up, light tower rental, etc. Mr. Barcinski stated all the required documentation was
provided. Mr. Barcinski stated the estimated total cost for this event is $2,470.00 which
includes the overtime, administrative fee and all the other supplies and equipment. He
stated the event producers are required to pay 100% of these costs. Staff recommends
approval with two conditions: (1) provide Hold Harmless Agreement and Certificate of
Liability Insurance by July 11, 2013, and (2) payment of a deposit in the amount of $300
by July 11, 2013.

06/04/13
Mrs. Petrolia asked if there is a waiver required under the amplified music
section. Mr. Barcinski stated the waiver is approved by the City Manager by ordinance
and that letter will be forthcoming and will have to be executed.
Mrs. Gray commented about the conditions and inquired about the $300
deposit. Mr. Barcinski stated when the Commission change the policies and procedures
where they were paying 100% the Commission indicated that they wanted to start seeing
a deposit of new events because the one new event (Italian Festival) never paid the City
and at that time the City did not require a deposit.
Mr. Jacquet asked if this any effect on downtown. In response, Mr.
Barcinski stated this is between S.E. 2nd Street and S.E. 3rd Street and this is something
the businesses would like to do for the community to help get these backpacks to the
kids.
Albert Jerome, business owner on S.E. 2nd Avenue, stated they are
going to have the "Give Away School Supplies" in front of his business and distributed
invitations to the Commission.
Mr. Frankel asked why the event coordinator is requesting that the event
be held until 10:00 p.m.
Dorcas Lucien, business owner on S.E. 2`"1 Avenue, stated last
December they gave away toys, bicycles, etc. and the event lasted until 9:00 p.m. but
even after this time people where still there trying to get bicycles for their children and
overall were having fun.
Mr. Jacquet stated he attended the event December 19d' which was a huge
event and the number of toys that were given out to the community was remarkable. He
is very proud that there are people in the community that are doing this kind of work for
the children who are less fortunate. Mr. Jacquet stated he understands that the time may
be of concern to some people; however, when he was leaving the event around 8:0019:00
p.m. there were still people there trying to get bicycles for their children. Mr. Jacquet
asked if there were any incidents last time that would warrant the City to not have this
event. Mr. Barcinski stated the City has more security this time because it was very
crowded and two officers were not enough. Mr. Jacquet supports this event
wholeheartedly and urged the Commission to support this event for the children in the
community.
Mrs. Petrolia confirmed that the event sponsors are not giving away
bicycles this time so maybe the crowd control will not be as extensive.
Jim Kni ht 10 S.E. 0 Avenue. Delray Beach FL 33444 stated he was
involved in the Christmas give -a -way and it was a very well attended event. Mr. Knight
stated there was no alcohol involved with Christmas event and there is not going to be
any alcohol involved here.
14
06/04/13
Mr. Frankel pointed out that on the application the event sponsors are
requesting light. The event sponsors stated this has been taken care of.
Mrs. Gray stated this is a great idea.

conditions, seconded by Mrs. Gray. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:
Mrs. Gray — Yes; Mayor Glickstein — Yes; Mrs. Petrolia — Yes; Mr. Jacquet — Yes; Mr.
Frankel — Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
9.E. RESOLUTION NO. 30 -13/MID YEAR BUDGET AMENDMENT:
Consider approval of Resolution No. 30 -13 amending Resolution No. 49 -12 adopted
September 20, 2012, which made appropriations of sums of money for all necessary
expenditures of the City of Delray Beach for the FY 2012/2013, by setting forth the
anticipated revenues and expenditures for the operating funds of the City for FY
2012/2013.
The caption of Resolution No. 30 -13 is as follows:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING
RESOLUTION NO. 49 -12 ADOPTED SEPTEMBER 20,
2012 WHICH MADE APPROPRIATIONS OF SUMS OF
MONEY FOR ALL NECESSARY EXPENDITURES OF

FISCAL YEAR 2012/2013, BY SETTING FORTH THE

THE FISCAL YEAR 2012 /2013; REPEALING ALL
RESOLUTIONS INCONSISTENT HEREWITH.
(The official copy of Resolution No. 30 -13 is on file in the City Clerk's
office.)
David Boyd, Finance Director, stated this budget amendment is for grant
and construction related projects only; there are no operating activities in this budget
amendment. Mr. Boyd explained that the items in this amendment fall into five (5)
categories: (1) Commission approved activities (i.e. the FED Cup $201,000, Hurricane
Sandy dune repair on the north beach $164,000, and the Delray Beach Preservation Trust
Neighborhood Sign Program $7,500); (2) new grants received subsequent to the budget
process $34,000 for a police bulletproof vest purchase, $70,000 for an emergency
medical services equipment purchase for the Fire Department and $10,000 FDOT grant
for Atlantic Avenue median project, (3) Continuation of existing grant funded projects
(i.e. CDBG, Neighborhood Housing Programs totaling $670,000; and $83,000 for an
15
06/04/13
FDOT grant for the Tri -rail trolley system), (4) close -out of existing grant projects (i.e.
Water /Sewer Renewal Replacement Projects — two grant funded projects that were closed
out below budget $43,000 and in the Construction Fund three projects came in $587,000
under budget, (5) Construction Projects and two Enterprise Funds — includes $380,000 in
unanticipated stormwater projects paid for out of stormwater reserves; two other projects
in the Water /Sewer Fund to replenish two water main projects $505,000. Mr. Boyd
stated this amount is to replenish two projects back to their original funded amount
because sometime in the past money was taken out of these budgets to fund two projects
that were more urgent than these at the time and $350,000 to cover estimated city -wide
new meter installation costs paid for from Water /Sewer project reserves.
Mr. Frankel moved to approve Resolution No. 30 -13, seconded by Mrs.

BLUE LAW FIRM: Consider a request from Allen Norton & Blue Law Firm to
increase the hourly fee for the City's labor counsel from $210.00 per hour to $235.00 per
hour.
Mr. Jacquet inquired about the hourly fee.
The City Attorney stated at the time the City used to have Carson &
Atkins for outside counsel and pursuant to Commission direction staff was directed to
look to see if they could get some other labor counsel. He stated staff went out and got
some other firms and the Commission approved their rate at $210.00 an hour at that time
and now they are requesting to increase their rate to $235.00 an hour. Staff recommends
approval of the $235.00 hourly fee.
Mrs. Petrolia asked why they charge the City less than other firms. The
City Attorney stated it is not less now; the $235.00 is bringing them up to the bottom tier
of what they charge other clients.
Mrs. Petrolia moved to approve the fee increase, seconded by Mrs. Gray.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Petrolia — Yes; Mr. Jacquet — No;
Mr. Frankel — Yes; Mrs. Gray — Yes; Mayor Glickstein — Yes. Said motion passed with a

12. COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES ON NON - AGENDA ITEMS.
12.A. City Manager
The City Manager suggested that the Commission consider adjusting its
July 2013 meetings since the July 4t' holiday falls on a Thursday and feels that many
people will be away for that week. He recommends that the meetings be moved by a
week so that the meetings will be July 9h, 16"', and 23rd. The City Attorney stated this
will come back as an item on the Consent Agenda.
Mayor Glickstein stated on that Consent Agenda rather than having
another agenda item dealing with just this, if it is the consensus to make that change, then
17
06/04/13
if there applications that are pending with expiration dates that would be impacted by
that, they are automatically continued to the next Commission meeting.
Mr. Frankel stated he will be out -of -town on July 23, 2013 which would
be the second regular meeting of the month; however, he will return at 6:30 p.m.
on July 24, 2013.
After brief discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission to change
the City Commission meetings to July 9th (regular), July 16th (workshop), and July 25th

Mrs. Petrolia asked for a list of the contracts that are up for renewal.
She congratulated Delray Beach for installing the four -way stop sign on

Smith.
Mrs. Petrolia requested an update on the Marina district parking and stated
she saw an excerpt on the news and it appeared that they were going to eliminate parking.
Mrs. Petrolia stated there was a suggestion by Kevin Warner with regard
to solidifying the website calendar. She stated people in general are finding it very
18
06/04/13
difficult to navigate through the system and it appears that everyone has their own
calendar. Mrs. Petrolia stated when she was reading through the list that she was sent of
his correspondence with the city to try to consolidate it became a nightmare. She stated
there should be one site for the calendar if it is possible in order to make it easy for
citizens and people visiting from out-of-town to be able to look in one place and find out
what is going on from road closures to festivals.
Lastly, Mrs. Petrolia stated she would like to know if the City is receiving
the franchise fee from Waste Management. She asked the City Attorney to put in writing
explaining that the City is receiving this franchise fee.
12.C.4. Mr. Jacquet
Mr. Jacquet reiterated that the Town Hall Meeting is Thursday, June 6,
2013 at 7:00 p.m. in the Crest Theatre at Old School Square and he looks forward to
seeing the residents.
Secondly, Mr. Jacquet stated he had previously asked for information
regarding the Purchasing Department as far as what other municipalities are doing, how
many staffing personnel they have compared to Delray Beach, and a comparison of the
workload.
He inquired about the Goal Setting meeting on June 7, 2013. Mayor
Glickstein confirmed that this meeting has been cancelled.
Mr. Jacquet stated he had the opportunity to give the keynote speech at
Tomorrow's Promise Community School last night. He stated this is a new charter
school in town that is doing miracles with some of the students. Mr. Jacquet stated he
was honored to give the keynote speech with Principal Marjorie Waldo.
Lastly, Mr. Jacquet stated tomorrow morning he will be the keynote
speaker at Orchard View Elementary School, on Thursday morning he will give the
keynote speech at Village Academy to their 5t' graders, and Thursday afternoon at 1:00
p.m. he will be the keynote speaker for Toussaint L'Ouverture School which is another
one of the City's charter schools. He stated he was happy to hear from the State
Representatives today and the big moves that we are doing on a state level as far as
funding for education.
12.C.5. Mayor Glickstein
Mayor Glickstein stated he was unaware of the typo regarding the meeting
time for the Town Hall Meeting. Ms. Herrera noted that this has been corrected.
Secondly, Mayor Glickstein stated the City Manager and he attended a
meeting with Mayor Abrams in May and he made mention during that meeting that there
was money available for striping, pavement marking, and road repairs. Mayor Glickstein
14
06/04/13
stated he neglected to bring this up to Engineering and get them to see if there is
something there that the City can get some money for.
Mayor Glickstein commented about the renewal date of July 1 st for the
sidewalk cafe permits. He stated there has been criticism about this and asked if this
should be something that should be discussed at a Workshop meeting before these come
up for renewal. The City Attorney stated he can check with Lula Butler but he assumes it
is something online where it is less staff intensive; however, if the Commission wishes to
discuss they may want to discuss and give staff direction. Mayor Glickstein asked the
City Manager if this is something they can look at next week.
Mayor Glickstein stated he would like to see the invocations not be part of
a City Commission meeting. He stated it comes uncomfortably close to protected
separations. In his opinion, Mayor Glickstein stated the last two Commission meetings it
was very religious specific when the invocation was given and does not believe the
invocations are appropriate.
Mrs. Gray stated she believes prayer is very important and she does not
have to say "Amen." She does not agree with the way everyone prayers but she respects
it and feels it should be continued.
Mayor Glickstein stated it is not a personal issue but noted that this is a
public place.
Mr. Frankel stated he respects Commissioner Gray's opinion; however, he
concurs with the Mayor's position supporting the separation of church and state.
Mrs. Gray stated she would like to hear more from the public before the
Commission makes a decision to take prayer out of the Commission meetings.
Mayor Glickstein stated it is not about whom you pray to or what your
religious beliefs are but it is that this is a public meeting place and feels the City should
be doing everything to make it as neutral as possible.
Mrs. Petrolia stated she could feel comfortable with no prayer because it is
a division of church and state but if it is something that the majority of people want then
she is okay with it. She commented that there have been two prayers in a row where it
has been specific to a certain religion.
Mrs. Gray concurs that it should not be religion specific but feels this has
not been a problem that often and is unfortunate that this has happened twice in a row.
The City Clerk stated the City Clerk's office sends out letters to remind
them to keep the prayer generic and non - denominational and confirmed after they are
sent a letter it is reiterated again verbally. The City Clerk stated there is a generic prayer
20
06/04/13
inside each Commissioner's binder that can be used and noted that someone from the dais
could read the prayer.
Mayor Glickstein suggested that there is some verbal communication with
the reverends that they understand that this is a non - denominational prayer.
Mr. Jacquet stated the City Clerk does remind the reverends and noted that
people go back to what they are used to doing. He stated he believes in the constitution
and the freedom of religion and freedom from religion and that everyone has their rights
to worship however they want. Mr. Jacquet stated he believes there is a time and place
for the prayer especially when dealing with a public venue.
Mayor Glickstein suggested that when the confirmation is sent to the
reverends that the City Clerk's office include a copy of the City's prayer as an example of
non - denominational.
Lastly, Mayor Glickstein stated he does not believe we recognize how
quickly passenger rail is conning to the FEC line and noted that there will be two phases
initially the first being a high speed rail from Miami to Orlando which will not stop in
Delray Beach and Palm Tran will be moving an additional line over which will have a
stop in Delray Beach.
At this point, Mrs. Petrolia confirmed that the City hired the attorney for
Waste Management.
Mrs. Gray suggested that the next time Mayor Glickstein speaks to Mayor
Steve Abrams that he ask if they have dollars for sidewalks as well. Mayor Glickstein
stated he can ask Mr. Abrams.
There being no further business, Mayor Glickstein declared the meeting
adjourned at 8:12 p.m.
