I. PURPOSE AND USE
The purpose of the 1990 City Commission Goal setting program was
to established a consensus directive in which the City
Commission, as a collective body, set forth an identification of
matters of importance.
The contents of this report are to be used by the Administration
for the following:
* problem solving with respect to current issues
* preparation of budgets for FY 90/91
* preparation of work programs for the remainder
of FY 89/90 and for FY 90/91
* general knowledge with respect to concerns and
direction of the City Commission.
The information and policy direction contained within this
document has not been formally adopted by ordinance or
resolution. It sets forth, usually in general terms, general
direction. In some cases, specific items are identified. In
such cases, the subject matter is to be specifically addressed,
usually by the Administration, when the subject appears before
the City Commission -- either at a designated worksession, during
budget review and as otherwise appropriate.
The direction provided in this document may be changed as
additional information is provided and further discussion occurs.
It is anticipated that the City Manager will include a review of
the items in this document at the time that the Manager's Budget
document is presented to the City Commission.
II. BACKGROUND
Goal Setting programs in the City of Delray Beach have
historically been tied to the land use planning process. Formal
goals and objectives were established with the 1979 Comprehensive
Plan. For the most part, that document did not serve as a policy
document for the City.
In 1986, a citizen's task team developed a "Policy Guide to the
Land Use Element" . That document was formally adopted as an
amendment to the 1979 Comprehensive Plan and then served as a
basis for preparation a new Land Use Element and Comprehensive
Plan prepared pursuant to the Florida (1985) Growth Management
Act.
1
In April, 1988, the City Commission and City Manager identified and
prioritized goals areas as a part of a management retreat. Although
not formally adopted, they were used by the Administration for
program development and as a focus in the budget message which
accompanied the FY 88/89 budget document.
In May, 1988, VISIONS 2000, a citizen directed "American
Assembly" provided further goals, objectives, and policy
direction for all facets of community activity. The resulting
document and direction was not adopted by the City Commission but
was used as one of the policy directed inputs to the, then,
emerging comprehensive plan.
In the summer and fall of 1989, several citizen task teams worked
on goals, objectives, and policies for individual elements of the
comprehensive plan. That work was reviewed in public hearings,
modified, and eventually adopted within the Comprehensive Plan.
In March, 1990, the municipal elections resulted in three new
City Commissioners being seated. In order to become more
familiar with the City as a whole, the activities of the City
Administration, and in order to establish a common direction for
the immediate task of orientation for a new City Manager and for
preparation of the budget for FY 90/91, the newly seated City
Commission, at its first worksession, broached the idea of a goal
setting exercise. Direction was then given to the Acting City
Manager to create and implement such an exercise within a few
weeks time period. The exercise was essentially conducted in the
period from April 5th to April 17, 1990.
III. METHODOLOGY
In order to provide a full range of information to the newly
seated City Commission, input was solicited from the City
Administration, appointed Boards and Committees, community
organizations, and the general public. The information was
gained in an orderly fashion through the following:
Step 1: A two hour presentation by the Administration which
focussed upon:
* Previous goal setting experiences
* Goal Setting and the Comprehensive Plan
* Goal Setting and the Budget Process
* Financial resources and consideration
* An overview of the goal setting program
2
Step 2: The next day input was achieved through 10-30 minute
presentations by individual departments within the City
Administration. Department heads were left to their
own devices in the manner of presentation. A schedule
and allocated times was followed. The Director of
Planning and Zoning provided a staff briefing/training
session as to the purpose of the exercise and how to
make an effective presentation.
In the same manner, appointed Board and Committees made
presentations to the City Commission. These were
followed by major community organizations and then the
general public.
Step 2 involved twelve (12) hours of testimony.
Step 3: Following the presentations, individual Commissioners were
required to identify up to six (6 ) items which would fall
within a common category. They were allowed to identify
six categories. Thus, each Commissioner had an
opportunity to identify what, to him/her, were thirty-six
(36) items of significance.
Step 4: The items identified by Commissioners were then collected.
Staff then placed like items together, consolidated
similar items, and presented a composite listing. The
composite listing was presented to the City Commission.
After discussion and adjustments, the listing was
finalized.
Step 5: Again staff took a lead in developing a fuller text
(description) of each identified item. That material was
reviewed by the City Commission, in detail, at formal
worksessions. Following the worksessions a revised text
was prepared and that draft document again reviewed by the
City Commission prior to creating the final document.
That material is found in Part VI of this document.

IV. PRIORITIES AND COMPARISON
1990 Prioritization: The following is an informal prioritization
of the general topic headings contained in the Goal Setting Text
(Part VI).
ITEMS PRIORITIZED BY MORE THAN ONE COMMISSIONER:
Finance and Budgeting (6+6+5+6+2 = 25)
Water and Sewer (5+5+5 = 15)
Neighborhoods (4+4+6 = 14)
Risk Management & Insurance (6+4+3 = 13)
Advisory Boards & Committees (3+4 = 7 )
Redevelopment/Specific Items (5+2 = 7 )
Privatization (3+2 = 5)
Tennis Court Issue (1+1+2 = 4)
ITEMS PRIORITIZED BY ONLY ONE COMMISSIONER:
New Items for Comp Plan ( 4 )
Commission Structure & Org. ( 3)
Facilities and Equipment ( 3)
Veteran's Park ( 2)
Organization & Management ( 1)
Water Conservation ( 1 )
C.B.D. Focus ( 1 )
ITEMS WHICH DID NOT RECEIVE A PRIORITIZATION VOTE:
Interagency Relationships
Canal Dredging
Streets and Traffic
Drainage
Neighborhood Enhancement Actions
(Parks and Recreation) Items to be Monitored/Explored
General Focus (Community Planning & Economic Development)
1988 Emphasis: During the April, 1988, City Commission and City
Manager management retreat, the following items were identified
as being of the most significance to the, then, City Commission:
MISSION STATEMENT: The mission of the City of Delray Beach
is to create a renaissance that enhances the unique
cultural, historical, and natural resources which make this an
attractive community to a diversified and balanced populace.
S
GOAL AREAS: Forty (40) goal areas were identified. Among the
highest priority were the following twelve ( 12) .
I. Make larger efforts to control drug trafficking and
crime.
2. Prevent defacto segregation of Delray Beach schools.
3. Cleanup West Atlantic Avenue.
4. Attract quality investment to the City.
5. Develop the cultural aspects of our community as an
economic development tool.
6. Revitalize decayed or decaying neighborhoods.
7 . Create economic health within our City.
8. Take a positive stand on environmental issues,
including land and water resources.
9. Improve the appearance of neighborhoods through improved
street and drainage facilities.
10. Improve and expand community social services.
II. Provide better low-cost housing for City residents.
12. Provide more and better moderate and high income single
family housing.
Comparison: One really sees that there is a difference in many
areas, other areas remain as concerns and have even higher
priority (e.g. neighborhood stabilization). Also, the worth of
the goal setting exercise is evident in that there are new areas
of concern (e.g. administrative and management matters) which
were not previously so identified.

VI. GOAL SE'.M'IHG TEXT
The following material presents the text
prepared for each of the goal setting areas
and major categories. The date of this text
is May 31, 1990. It reflects changes which
resulted as of the City Commission May
worksession review of the draft text.
GOAL AREA CITY ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT STATUS/COMMENTS
Subject: Finance and Budqet
The annual budqet process should take the form of
zero based budgeting or a similar tact which
readily identifies the cost of new or enhanced
activities and requires the justification of the
previous year's resource allocations. This
concept should be phased in conjunction with
establishment of an overall performance oriented
management system.
The proposed (and final) budqet documents should
have a narrative component which identifies
projects and activities which are to be
accomplished through the budget allocations. The
narrative shall also address the distribution of
revenues (e. g. amount dedicated to personnel
services etc).
Another focus shall be on bettering the budqet June 19 - Workshop
forecast system and establishment of "early
warning" reporting.
An Internal Auditor function (position) should be
created with one of its area of focus to be on
identifying inefficiencies and ways to save money
(looking for waste and improper expenditure of
funds) . (Note: A part of the discussion addressed
coordination of capital projects. Further
discussion of this subject is found under
Organizational Relationships.)
In preparinq the FY 90/91 budqet the following Budget Preparation
items are to be specifically addressed:
* Focus on the financial situation/commitments/
needs with respect to Old School Square
11
.
.
~
* Examination of the amount of time which STATUS/COMMENTS
departments, such as Fire, spends upon
inspection and compliance with respect to how
it is divided among commercial and
residential interests with an eye to insuring
that fee structures appropriately reflect
allocation of time and resources.
* Proceeding with computerized meter reading.
* Building up of reserves, through phased
approaches, with a target of achieving a 10%
reserve.
* Consideration of future costs associated with
what appear to be one time projects e.g.
ongoing maintenance costs and/or ongoing
administrative costs which might have to be
picked up by the City.
Subject: Risk Management and Insurance Programs
and Benefits
Continuing escalation of costs associated with
manpower intensive organizations, such as the
City, necessitate immediate review and program
adjustments. Not only is such review necessary
for the cutting of costs, but also for providing a
proper work environment.
Activities to be undertaken along this line include:
* Reexamination of self insurance decisions June 5 - Workshop
especially with respect to WC and medical.
* Consideration of an overhaul of the insurance
program.
* Establishment of a "safety engineer" In Progress
particularly if we are to stay self-insured.
* Resolution of the various pay plan programs Budget Process
presented to the Commission, refinement of
the direction/objectives of such programs,
appropriate adjustments, and then adoption.
* Consideration of scholarship programs for Budget Item
minorities in Police and Fire education.
12
.
.
* Stress management and wellness program STATUS/COMMENTS
enhancement for Fire and Police Department Budget Item
personnel and expansion of such programs to
all employees.
Subject: Privatization
The City is a manpower intensive organization. As
an alternative to the continued expansion of the
organization through adding additional full-time
employees (FTEs), the concept of privatization
should be explored:
Whenever increases in staffing are proposed and
cost/benefit comparison should be provided with
respect to the alternative of "going private".
Such an analysis should include a cost analysis
both from a short and long term perspective. If
under such an analysis, there is no clear
distinction then the tendency should be to go
private.
As a part of the FY 90/91 budget process, the Budget Process
following items should be subjected to a
"privatization" analysis:
* possible change in focus re labor negotiation
process;
* the provision of legal and psychological
services which are specifically directed to
the law enforcement function;
* Reorganization and consolidation of functions
with an eye to contracting out of certain
services/functions;
* With respect to continuing requests for
maintenance personnel especially in the area
of beautification (landscaping) services;
* For services such as lawn care, janitorial,
pest control, and similar activities; and,
* For incidental street repairs such as pothole
repair.
13
.
.
Notwithstanding the above, there should be a STATUS/COMMENTS
concentrated effort to reduce the use of outside
consultants and to place more of a focus on the
use of our current, competent staff to evaluate
needs.
Subject: Orqanizational Relationships and
Management
Reorganization directed to simplifying departments
and increasing efficiency while reducing
duplication and paperwork -- reduction of
bureaucracy -- should be pursued. Items to be
considered in such reorganizations should include:
* reduction of the "span of control" for the
City Manager.
* splitting off of components of the current
the public works function to other
departments.
* an assessment of alternatives to retaining
additional Assistant City Attorneys taking
into account the apparent needs of the Police
Department of a legal advisor along with
other considerations.
* creation of a function (or position) along
the lines of a Senior Director of Capital
Improvements and Facility Management which
will deal with architects and engineers in a
construction manager type of role --
particularly in light of the need for good
control for the implementation of the
Decade of Excellence Bond Program and the
Water and Sewer Bond Program.
* attempt to keep the number of upper
management personnel at its existing level
(as opposed to increasing it) and to
accommodate new needs (such as the above
item) through reorganization and
consolidation or through elimination of
other upper management positions which may no
longer be needed.
14
.
.
Items to be pursued with priority going into the STATUS/COMMENTS
FY 90/91 budget discussions include: Budget Item
* Accelerated implementation of City-wide
computerization (focus on long-term savings
in personnel and paperwork reductions)
* Functions with the City Clerk's Office e.g.
* Automation of the City Clerk's Office
* A public information and service
function
* Refinement of the documents research
process
* Individual and team cross-training
concepts
* Election processing
15
.
.
GOAL AREA: CITY COMMISSION RELATIONS STATUS/COMMENTS
Subject: Commission Structure and Operations
Currently, the process of having elections every July 3 - Workshop
year and the potential for a complete change in
Commissioners in a two year period and the lack of
a systematic method of establishing or maintaining
Commission policies creates a situation where
there is either a real, or de-facto, lack of
continuity. Items which should be explored or
implemented and which will provide for better
continuity include:
* Exploration of having Commission member terms
being greater than two years.
* Creation of a "Commission Policy Manual"
which while including "Rules of Procedure"
will also identify matters on which a general
or specific policy is made and practiced by
the Commission.
* City Manger changes and other Charter
changes.
Subject: Advisory Boards and Committees
The number and functions of existing advisory May 29 - Workshop
boards and committees has often been cited as a * P&Z
problem area because, among other items, of the * C.A.B.
demands which it places upon the administration * H.P.B.
for proper guidance and support. Over the years * Board of Adjustmen
an expressed, but unachieved, goal has been to
reduce the number of advisory boards and
committees which exist.
In order to again address this situation and to July 31 - Workshop
enhance the functioning of current boards and * Others
committees, the following policies and practices
shall be observed:
* City Boards should meet in evening hours in
order to better accommodate the public.
* Whenever a request, or need, arises for the
creation of a new advisory board or committee
the subject should be addressed by an ad-hoc
task team which would be constituted for a
one year period. At the conclusion of that
year, an assessment would be made to
determine if a full-fledged advisory group
should be created.
16
* An examination of the continuing need for STATUS/COMMENTS
some of the current advisory bodies.
* The creation of a mechanism(s) for better Higher Priority Desired
coordination between and among advisory
boards.
* The creation of a better system for the
identification and tracking of citizens who
have made application to various advisory
bodies.
In addition, a Commission lead effort is necessary
for clarification of the role of the Boards in
identifying and carrying out Commission policy and
direction (i. e. how Boards might adjust or modify
their actions in order to encourage reinvestment
and redevelopment).
Subject: Interagency Relationships
There is a continuing need for better interlocal Workshop with Boca
and intergovernmental relationships between the Raton being set-up
City and others. One of the most significant is
that of working directly with the governing bodies
of adjacent units of government on a face-to-face
basis to address items of mutual concern.
Also working relationships with entities such as "Swinton Swap"
the County and FDOT need to be formally and firmly Given as Administratior
established so that communications and resolution Priority re resolution
of City concerns are appropriately and timely
addressed. Examples of items which have not been
so handled include: the proposed "Swinton Swap"
vis-a-vis 10th Street, Lake Ida, and others. An
area of needed improvement is that of obtaining
traffic signal coordination (synchronization),
signage, signal installation etc. This latter
area would fall within the purview of the City
Engineer.
17
GOAL AREA: PUBLIC SERVICES, FACILITIES, & STATUS/COMMENTS
INFRASTRUCTURE
Subject: Water and Sewer Systems
Improvements to the water and sewer systems are
essentially laid out in the Comprehensive Plan.
While additional work needs to be done with
respect to tightening up projected improvement
needs, the following items are those which are of
the greatest concern at the present time:
* Implementation of a ten year repiping program
which will provide for the upgrading and
replacement of substandard water distribution
and sewer collection facilities.
* Enhancement of the water quality monitoring
system and enhancement of the water quality
which is delivered to the consumer.
* Insuring compliance with the Clear Water Act
* Insuring that due progress is made with Bond is authorized
respect to the odor control situation at the
Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant.
* Obtaining the rights to the potential western Studies are underway
wellfield which includes the procedures - target of August
(steps) set forth in the Comprehensive Plan for reporting
e.g. exploration of alternative sources (deep
well with reverse osmosis), reexamination of
demand and long-term cost/benefit analysis.
Subject: Water Conservation
There are two areas dealing with water
conservation which are to have high priority and
the attention of the Administration. These are:
a) better public information and dissemination
of that information with respect as to how to
conserve water, the cost of usage, and long
term implications (and costs) associated with
not having sufficient conservation
b) pursuit of options for reuse of water through
both grey water and treated effluent
applications. Receiver areas to be
considered should include golf courses and
the 1-95 corridor.
18
·
Subject: Canal Dredqinq I STATUS/COMMENTS
The responsibility for, and the proper method of
providing dredging of side canals (off the
Intracoastal Waterway) needs to be ascertained.
Once this information is in-hand, an action plan
for having such canals dredged should be developed.
Subject: Streets and Traffic
There is a need to secure the services of a
Traffic Engineer (in-house) in order to keep
abreast with concurrency requirements, to enhance
relationships with other agencies (see
intergovernmental coordination item), and to deal
with traffic design and improvement dictates of
the Comprehensive Plan.
Also, attention to the ongoing maintenance of the Budget Item
street system is necessary. Consideration should
be given to adding another crew for normal
maintenance (potholes etc -- see "privatization"
section) and in upgrading of the equipment such as
a new street sweeper.
Subject: Drainaqe
The main focus dealing with drainage is to
proceed, with haste, in establishment of the storm
water utility program, construction of the
projects funded by the Decade of Excellence Bond,
and then getting on with other, neighborhood
oriented, drainage projects.
Subject: Facilities and Equipment
Two major projects which are to be resolved soon
are:
(also refer to the Parks goal area re the tennis
center situation)
a) the site selection for relocation of Fire June 5 - City
Station #1. Construction of a replacement Commission Worksession
station is a part of the Decade of Excellence
Program. Site selection must occur soon so
as to maximize the beneficial impacts of
relocation and also to insure that the new
facility can be constructed within the time
limi ts of the Bond program; Site selection
include unput and recommendations from the
C.R.A. and
19
·
b) the responsibility and manner of acquisition STATUS/COMMENTS
of the land between Spady Elementary School
and Lake Ida Road. This item should be
referred to the Education Board which should,
in working with the School District's
Administration thoroughly explore this item.
Equipment items which should be addressed in Budget Process
preparation of the FY 90/91 budget are:
* a new photocopier for the City Clerk's
function
* establishment of a capital replacement
program for items such as cars, computers,
etc
20
GOAL AREA: NEIGHBORHOODS STATUS/COMMENTS
Subject: Organization
Immediate attention must be given to implementing A July Workshop
the housing and neighborhood stabilization and
revitalization components of the Housing Element
of the Comprehensive Plan. A first step shall be
retaining a "Neighborhood Housing Specialist"
function within the Community Improvement
Department. This function shall address the
implementation activities (directed toward
neighborhood stabilization) in the Housing Element
with specific attention on the following:
* encouraging the establishment of neighborhood
associations for those areas of the City
which are not now represented by, or
identified with, such an association
* establishing an Information Center and/or
Hotline for the dissemination of information
of local (neighborhood) concern
* coordination of neighborhood organizations

priority in the allocation of the $300,000
set aside which is provided for housing
matters

leveraging the City's efforts
* revamping the definition of "family"
ordinance and its application
* a mission of establishing sound and trusted
working relationships among all concerned

Subject: Enhancement Actions
As of this time, and aside from the items
identified under the organization section above,
attention needs to be focussed upon the following
three geographic areas:
1 ) In the Old School Square Historic District
and into Pineapple Grove, there should be a
strategy developed for the effective use of
21
alleys including their improvement and STATUS/COMMENTS
ongoing maintenance. Also, along Swinton
Avenue, N. E. 2nd Avenue, and N. E . 4th Street
the beautification program needs high
priority attention. And a resolve made with
respect to the hardscape improvements which
are to be installed along Swinton Avenue.
Associated with this area is the need to
pursue previous Commission direction relative
to prevention of the four laning of Swinton
Avenue.
2) In the Community Development Target Area and
the CRA Planning Area, the concept of
increasing minimum lot sizes and, hence, a
reduction in density needs to be addressed.
3) The West Atlantic Planning Area neighborhood
plan and Administration focus should include/
address the following:
* socioeconomic/financial strategy for
broadening the business district(s)
* immediate enhancement of appearance of
vacant parcels
* reduction of the criminal element
through effective crime watch programs
* affordable housing opportunities through
City/CRA and private sector
participation
* establishment of a City facility anchor
4 ) Exploration and analysis pertaining the the Study in process

PARKS, CULTURE, AND RECREATION
Resolution of the lingering program for providing July workshop unless
a top quality public tennis center within the City there is earlier
of Delray Beach is an item demanding immediate activity by FSLIC
resolution. A determination must be made as soon
as possible as to the ultimate resolution of the
issue and if longer delays will be experienced,
then immediate short-term improvements must be
made to the existing Tennis Center.
The Veteran's Park project which is in the Consultation selection
Comprehensive Plan should receive top priority in in process
design and implementation.
The following projects should be considered as
additional needs and included in the Comprehensive

GOAL AREA: COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ECONOMIC STATUS/COMMENTS
DEVELOPMENT
Subject: General Focus
The City (government) needs to focus attention
upon policies, directions, and activities which
enhance the community's posture for continuing
growth. Such items should include:
* Better marketing of existing incentive
packages which could encourage job creating
interests (groups/investors) to locate within
the community -- lead groups are the CRA and
the Chambers Economic Development function
* A focus on recreation and the tourist
industry to generate increases in ad Valorem
taxes e.g. hotel development. Tourist
industry development also includes an element
focussed upon cultural, the arts, Pineapple
Grove revitalization, etc.
* The promotion of owner occupied housing for
middle class families
* A continuing focus upon following the
concepts advocated through the Comprehensive
Plan which deal with economic development
Subject: Central Business District Focus
Events have delayed the planned (per Comprehensive
Plan) sequence of City and CRA activities which
would have resulted in the initiation of a
downtown development plan in FY 89/90. Because of
the need to keep the downtown development/
redevelopment momentum strong, immediate actions
should be taken to accelerate the undertaking of
the downtown development plan. While that
planning effort takes shape, the following items
should receive resources and attention so that
they are resolved as soon as possible:
* Finalization of the traffic circulation
system in the downtown area
* Establishment of the CBD parking garage
program (which may involve decreasing
downtown parking restrictions) for which
financing may come primarily from a parking
district (This item is currently charged to
the DDA for advice and recommendations)
24
,-".,~_.,_..-
* Resolution of the manner in which the STATUS/COMMENTS
$500,000 set aside for the Pineapple Grove Pineapple Grove
area is to be allocation (This item is being Neighborhood Plan
considered in the context of the Pineapple has commenced
Grove Neighborhood Plan program)
Subject: Redevelopment and specific item focus:
Specific projects which are in various stages of
discussion and/or undertaking which should receive
specific attention of the City's Administration
include:
* Pursuit of inclusion of activities including
jury trials at the new courthouse facility
which will enhance this facility as an
economic asset to the community (this
activity would be proceeded by a brief study
to determine what functions should be at the
courthouse in order to encourage law firms to
locate in proximity to the courthouse)
* Streamlining and simplification of building
codes and the preservation (COA) process
* Discussion with the Real Estate Advisory
Committee regarding the marketing of the RO
District properties to Boca professionals
* As considerations in a revision to the Next Amendment
Comprehensive Plan, the addition of the January/199-1
economic development activity of a fishing
reef off shore. Also, a revision should
address reducing commercial zoning in
outlying areas.

Good Morning . . . . .
I'm Susan O'Brien, the Assistant City Clerk. I'm going to fill
in for Alison this morning since she's not able to be here. Also
with me this morning are some key members of our staff who I will
introduce to you in just a few minutes.
;--;r) t,.,uJ;}6\C""'\ 6.r'aA E.IY1~J"'Ii Sf 90&J 5 the Mission State-
Let me begin by passing out to you a copy of
ment tor the City Clerk I s oJfice. This she~t. also contains our
//
. .--, ---.- .- /
goals ahd~bjectives for fiscal year i991.
What our mission statement means, basically, is that the Clerk's
office should function as the information center for the City -
we field inquiries from all facets of the external community as
well as from the internal community, which includes you (the
Mayor and Commission) , the City Manager, the City Attorney, and
all of the other City departments. We are also charged with the
custody of all official records pertaining to the City and it is
very important that we be able to access these records in a
timely and efficient manner.
For example, the most complete set of Commission minutes is
useless if we have no way of keeping track of a particular item,
when it was approved, or what direction was given. We are not
going to be very effective, if we have to rely on someone's
memory and then spend several manhours researching an issue. In
order for us to be effective, we have to have the proper resourc-
es. It's easy to see that a properly trained staff and good
equipment in working order are a necessity.
Be fore I get into where we are going and what we are going to
need, I want to back track just a bit to give you a little better
perspective of where we are right now. Alison and I took over
our current positions some three months ago at the beginning of
the year. Right off the bat we were faced with several issues:
(1) seeing to it that the day to day operations of the
department were, at a minimum, maintained at the current
level of service;
(2) administration of the March 13th municipal election;
(3 ) the responsibility for preparation of the Commission agenda
was delegated to our office from the Manager's office;
(4) and lastly, we were, and still are, faced with trying to
untangle a department which, in our opinion, should have
been one of the first in the City to automate, but which had
continued to operate for the most part on a manual
recordkeeping and filing system. As you can probably
imagine, this resulted in a tremendous backlog with some
areas, such as contracts, being as far out of date as two to
three years.
As a department, we are doing a good job with what we have to
work with, but we're going to need some additional help and
support in the future in order for us to get the job done in a
more effective manner.
One of the first things we felt needed to be done was to organize
the department into defined areas of responsibility. Many people
think of the Clerk's office as the place where minutes are done
and that's about it. As you will learn from the people I am now
going to introduce, the Clerk's office is a very versatile
department. In addition to election administration which is
handled primarily by the City Clerk, we now have four (4) major
areas of operation which are:
1 Boards and Committees
2 Agenda Coordination and Preparation
3 Contract Administration
4 Central Services
First let me introduce Anita Barba who oversees the Bo ards and
Committees function of our department:
(ANITA)
Now Cheryl Leverett who is in charge of the agenda . . . .
(CHERYL)
Next, Barbara Garito who handles contracts and agreements . . . .
(BARBARA )
and finally, Sue Morrison, who is instrumental in the area we
call Central Services.
(SUE)
Now that you have an idea of some of the functions we perform, I
hope you can appreciate how critical it is that automation of the
City Clerk's office be aggressively pursued if we are to increase
and enhance our productivity. Every day there are more records
for us to maintain and file and more requests for information
which we must retrieve and provide. Right now, we don't have the
resources to deal with the situation efficiently. We need to
develop indexing and filing systems which will not only allow our
department to retrieve data quickly and easily, but which will
also be available to other departments for inquiry purposes.
We'll want to look at coordinating a Land Information System with
Planning and Community Improvement so that complete property
information will be accessible to everyone concerned. There are
all kinds of possibilities, but we can't do anything until we get
the basics. These basics are outlined within our goals and
objectives for 1991 and include acquiring the hardware we're
going to need, training our employees in the use of the system,
and making determinations as to the type of software that's going
to be the most advantageous to us. We have a good and capable
staff who are willing to work hard at implementing a comprehen-
sive program over the next five years and beyond, but we are
going to need your support at budget time to see that we get the
necessary funding to obtain the resources we must have to get
such a project off the ground.
Another i tern we would like to present for your consideration is
the need for new photocopying equipment. Our machine if approxi-
mately six years old and is no longer very dependable, but it is
still the best thing available to virtually all of City Hall so
it is usually tied up a good deal of the time. We are now
handling the agenda and if we had a fast, reliable machine, we
could probably do the agenda entirely in-house and more cost-ef-
fectively than by using a commercial printing company, not to
mention maybe being able to have it done on time.
The last area we want to bring to your attention is that of a
City-wide records management program. Some departments have been
doing work in this area -- mostly by way of records destruction
in accordance with approved schedules -- but there is little, if
any, cohesiveness to the process. Since the volume of paper is
steadily increasing and the amount of space available to store it
all in is decreasing, its time to take a closer look at the
issue. This is another of our goals for fiscal year 1991 . . to
research what will be involved and what it is going to take to
develop a City-wide records management program. Based on avail-
able information and limited conversations with a few other
municipalities which have programs up and running, the implemen-
tation of an effective records management is a substantial
financial undertaking. There will be personnel and equipment
costs as well as decisions to be made insofar as space and
environmental considerations. We would like you to be thinking
about this program since in all likelihood we will be presenting
it to you within a two year time frame.
In closing, please remember that the City Clerk's Office is first
and foremost, a service department. Thus, for the City Clerk and
her staff, good public relations are essential. Our office is
often the starting point for persons seeking information on any
number of subjects. If we are able to give people what they want
in a timely fashion, this is going to have an impact on their
perception of the City as a whole, and the same holds true if we
can't give them what they want. An efficient office is essential
and we very much hope that you as the governing body of the City
will support the City Clerk's office in our attempts to create an
efficient office through reorganization, automation and, ulti-
mately, records management.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

MEMORANDUM
TO:' HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSIONERS
! /J~/ROBERT A.
FROM: BARCINSKI, INTERIM CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: INSTRUCTIONS AND WORK SHEETS FOR CITY GOAL SETTING
SESSION
DATE: APRIL 05, 1990
During these two days you will receive a great amount of information.
Your task is to sift through it, add your own perspectives, and then
categorize it.
I
You are limited to six categories. Within each category you can list
only six projects/objectives which are to be pursued.
Attached are two sets of worksheets. Use one set for notes and
organizing. Use the other for writing up your final submission. Your
submission is to be returned to the City Manager's Office on or before
April 11th.
Attempt not to address more than one activity when you identify
projects/objectives. Do not be concerned about details of any
projects/objectives or the category/goal area.
Do not try to accommodate all the proposals which will be put before
you. The reason for the limitation of "6" is to identify what is most
important. Remember that "most important II is in relationship to the
City of Delray and the allocation of resources available to the City.
Since there are five participants, it is possible that there will be
thirty-six (36) categories and 180 individual projects. If you cannot
think of six projects within a category, it is all right to list a
lesser number.
After April 11th, all the sheets will be tabulated. On April 17th and
May 3rd other sessions will be held. At that time, participants will
be able to promote the projects they feel are most important. The
focus of those meetings will be to:
1. agree and define each category
2. agree and define the projects within each category
3. prioritize the projects within each category
4. create a priority list of short-term and long-term
city-wide projects
Following the prioritization, the results of this exercise will be
written up in document form. The goal setting document will not be
adopted but it will become a guide in municipal decision-making during
the next two years.

Morikami
Museum and Japanese Gardens
4000 Morikami Park Road, Delray Beach, Florida 33446 · (407) 495-0233 . Fax (407) 499-2557
Organizational Purpose
To interpret everyday Japanese life and culture, present
the Japanese-American experience, and chronicle the
history of the Yamato Colony
What We Have
200 acres of land with: Japanese Gardens, bonsai, nature
preserves, and a museum of Japanese Culture.
Who Visits Us
Annually The Morikami attracts 110,000 visitors, roughly
50% of whom reside outside Palm Beach County.
What is the Benefit to Delray Beach
Many visitors to the area hear about Delray Beach through The
Morikami's national and international media coverage. Many who
visit The Morikami also patronize local merchants, restaurants
and hotels. The museum itself, through its payroll and
purchases, pumps money into the Delray economy.
What is Our Future
A new 31,000 sq. ft. museum building with public auditorium
will be opened in 1992 along with expanded Japanese gardens.
Long range plans include a demonstration farm commemorating our
agricultural history and featuring the Sundy Feed Store, and
authentic buildings brought over from Japan. The entire complex
will be a world class tourist attraction.
What is the Cost and Who is Supporting Us
The cost of the initial project is $4.5 million. $ 763,000
has been received from the State of Florida. Palm Beach
County has committed $1.5 million to the project. Funds
are being sought from Japanese and American sources.
Community Support
Local leaders such as George Elmore, Matt Gracey, Jr. , Doris
Love, Phyllis Hammett, Sandy Simon and Bill Wilsher, among many
others, have been actively involved in planning.
How the City of Delray Beach Can Help
We are requesting a $50,000 grant for new museum construction.

CIVIC ASSOCIATION October, 1989
While all property owners and residents of Tropic Isle~Qenerally share the same
goals regarding the appearance of their property, individual standards do vary.
. The following represents an attempt to set a standard for our neighborhood that
all guests,,'residents and property owners could adopt and comply with to i·nsure
enhancement and, therefore, continued appreciation of Tropic Isle.
For the most part these guidelines are found in City Codes and Ordinances and are
enforceable; however, some alterations and additions have been made due to the
unique nature of our neighborhood.
BOATS/RV'S
One currently registered boat, boat trailer and recreational vehicle can be
parked on an improved lot providing it is owned by the resident of the
property and is screened on three sides by fencing, walls or hedges which
are in conformance with standards specified elsewhere in these articles. The
storage area can be at the sides of the property but not between the street
and the structure,or the canal and the structure, if parked on a waterfront
lot.
Parking in the driveway for purposes of loading or unloading is permitte~ for
a period not exceeding 24 hours.
PARKING
Vehicles should not be parked in the right-of-way or in the swale or on lawns.
Commercial vehicles can park on the right-of-way for a period not exceeding
one hour except where the additional time is required to complete the service
or delivery. Non-commercial vehicles up to 3/4 ton (pickup or vans) may be
parked on improved property if such vehicle is owned and used by the resident.
Vehicles stored outside with expired tags (or no tags),operable or inoperable,
are considered abandoned and must be removed from the property or stored within
the. garage.
Parking on unimproved property is not permitted.
TRASH
Containers and/or properly tied plastic trash bags should not be placed at curb-
side earlier than 5 p.m. on the day prior to scheduled collection. Emptied
containers should be removed from the street by 7 p.m. on collection day. Except
for palm fronds, garden waste should be bundled and tied.
Trimmings and other landscape debris exceeding 41 in any dimension and 50 lbs.
in weight will require special collection which can be arranged by calling
Waste Management Corporation.
LANDSCAPING
Unimproved lots, as well as improved lots, will be maintained free from weeds
and unsightly accumulations of debris, underbrush and refuse piles. Sod, hedges,
shrubbery, trees and flower beds will be kept neat and trimmed.
NOISE
Property owners and residents are responsible for ensuring that noise emanating
from their homes, boats and vehicles is minimized so as to avoid disturbing
adjoining property owners and resi·dents. Guests and visitors should be
reminded of City Ordinances in this regard.
P.O. BOX 2473 DELRAY BEACH. FLORIDA 33447-2473
-2- City Codes and Ordinances
LIGHTING
Arrangement of low voltage landscape lighting and security lighting is left
to resident's discretion; however, every effort should be made to ensure driver's
or boater's vision is not impaired by the placement of the.lighting fixtures.
CLOTHESLINES
Laundry and apparatus to facilitate the drying of laundry (clotheslines or
drying racks) shall be screened from neighbor's view by hedges or other screening
that is in compliance with applicable provisions within these articles.
FENCES
Fences of wood, plastic, metal, masonry or shrubbery should not exceed 6 feet
in height along property side lines and 4 feet in height along front and back
lot lines.
Fencing of other than shrubbery or hedges should have landscaping added to the
side facing away from residence, of a height sufficient to cover or screen at
least 50% of the fence's vertical dimension.
CONSTRUCTION
Contractors will keep building sites in accordance with applicable codes.
Building materials and debris will be stored in an orderly fashion or in
dumpsters so as to minimize hazards from vermin or unsafe donditions.
Builders will make every effort to avoid inconveniencing adjacent property
owners through excessive noise, dust, dirt, overspray from paint and noise,
including vibrations from equipment.
Damage to public property by contractors should be brought to the attention of
the appropriate city officials. Relief for damage to private property will
have to be sought through normal channels.
SPEEDING
Exceeding the speed limit, whether by motorists or boaters, is illegal and
could result in injury and/or property damage and should be avoided by
residents and guests alike. Boaters are reminded that by law they are
responsible for any damage caused by their wake, including damage to sea walls,
shrubbery or other boats or boaters. To ensure they are not held accountable
for wake-caused damage, the prudent boater would be wise to proceed at idle
speed whenever navigating a canal.
HOME OCCUPATIONS
Home occupations are allowed by law, although a number of restrictions are placed
. on the type and scale of the operation. In addition to complying with the conditions
required of an approved licensee, residents should ensure that home computers,
facsimile machines, etc., meet Federal Standards on electrical emissions and
are properly installed so as to limit interference with neighboring television
arid telephone reception.

"I'
ii
¡\il 1- City Building Codes:
I
1,"/ A. Streamline & Reduce BuildinQ Codes:
"
More property owners will apply for building permits, with
less bureaucratic hassles. Right now, alot of lost revenues
due to complexity and time delay.
2. Preservation Codes:
A. Streamline & Reduce Preservation Code:
Reduce the Historic Preservation Code to a more reasonable
leve 1, as this originally was suppose to streamline the
process for building permits. Allow this board to approve
all P & Z questions regarding variances for new
construction, Remodeling Permits. Appoint more Homeowners
from Historic Districts to board. Have the board meet
twice a month at night, to allow the homeowners to sit on
board or just even attend the meeting. The rest of board
should be made up of well qualified professionals.
3 . Code Enforcement:
Reduce staff by 50%
This deptartment has 14 code enforcement officers,
which is far too many, at an cost of approx. $750,000.00,
and re-apply saving to Building Department. Also, have this
department work with homeowners associations before
issuing a violation, in an attempt to draw in the community
and to reduce the official case load.
4. Building Department:
Make this department more efficient and responsive to the
community by hiring at least 5 more plan-reviewers, and
streamline the requirements for building permits. This
will reduce the need for issuing building permits and when
neccessary cause the Building Department to issue Building
Permits in faster time. Right now, so many tradesmen as
well as homeowners, avoid applying for a building permit
due to the lapse time between applying and receiving
their permit. (This is 10st revenues to the City.)
Del-Ida Park Neighborhood Association
P,O. Box 1691 Delroy Beach, Florida 33447-1691
,',' 5. Increase Ad-valorem Revenues:
(II
'I
,'I Find & Identify properties that are under "Fair Market
,- Value" and have Tax Assessors Office re-evaluate
appraisals. At the current rate, all those who are paying
less than their fair share will have to pay their "Fair
Market Rate."
(A lot of properties are under-assessed that are on the tax
rolls.)
6. Increase Major Anchor Corporations in Old Down-Town:
Find and entice major corporations to old downtown
(ie:Post-office District-Center District of Town) to act as
anchor tenants for smaller businesses. This might be
accomplished by tax incentives, low cost loans, or joint
ventures.
7. Make older section of Delray more attractive:
This should cause people to want to acquire property in
this section of town, due to the close proximity of major
anchor corporations (increased property values) and major
co~porations will want to get closer to the market (again,
increased and desirable section of town, bringing higher
real-estate taxes.)

BEACH ADVISORY COMMITTEE
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH
FLORIDA
TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION:
It has been my privilege to serve as the Chair of the Beach
Advisory Committee since it was established in 1985 by the City
Council. The enabling ordinance set specific criteria for member-
ship on the Committee: one member each from the north beach area,
the south beach area, the Chamber of Commerce, the center city, and
the area west of 195. Members of the Committee, in addition to the
Chairman, are Pat Duane, Bill Koch III, Kathi Sumrall, and Irwin Ives.
It has been a fine, productive committee.
Although the Committee was given no specific directive other
than to serve in an advisory capacity to the Parks and Recreation
Dept. relative to beach matters, we set out to develop a capital
improvement project to improve the overall appearance of the beach.
We studied the needs of our run-down beach area and, for a basis for
comparison, visited and photographed every area beach from Fort
Lauderdale to Jupiter. Having identified what needed to be done,
the Committee worked with Parks and Recreation and Engineering Dept.
heads to develop projected costs, and presented a complete capital
improvement project to the City Council.
The scope of the project included the flagpole monument, life-
guard towers, small shelters ( the House of Refuge pavilion had been
proposed to an earlier City Commission by the Chair) , showers with
drinking fountains, shower benches, trash receptacles, parking lot
gates; also landscaping, irrigation and sod replacement, curb and
sidewalk replacement, paving at Atlantic Dunes Park, and removing
rust and refinishing the wall which had been part of the old beach
revetment. Basic to all was establishing a theme color which tied
all the various elements together..
The City Council received our project with enthusiasm, and
provided funds from recreation impact fees ,,,here their use was valid,
and from interest on the beach restoration fund. Several elements,
the lifeguard towers and some landscaping, were provided through the
Park Dept. budgets over several years.
The Committee could not have accomplished the project without an
excellent working relationship with Joe Weldon and his Parks and Rec-
reation Dept.. With completion of the wall renovation several months
ago the project is nearly complete. What remains to be done is better
screening of newspaper vending machines at the north and south shelters
and a resolution of the appearance problem of the beach entrance at the
Casuarina end where the public beach adjoins private property.

With the capital improvement project for which we received
more than $300,000 now basically completed, the role of the
Committee is now basically to work with the Department on main-
tenance. Joe Weldon's crews do a very good job, but he will tell
you that the Committee is fussy and is continually trying to raise
standards. Also, Joe will work with us on the problems of replacing
landscape materials where they have been subject to unfavorable
weather and/or fungus conditions.
If we may, the Committee would like to offer two suggestions
which we believe are constructive. Although the level of maintenance,
day to day, is quite good at the beach parks because it is a top
priority with the Parks Department, we are concerned that it may not
continue at that level because the manpower is stretched so thin.
In the last few years a number of additional areas have been added to
the Department's responsibility for maintenance without any concomitant
increase in manpower. We would urge the new City Commission, in your
examination of budget commitments, to provide for adequate manpower
to keep the level of quality appearance which has been attained. We
believe there is developing an enormous pride in our city. It will
require a strong commitment from city government to continue to move
toward a beautiful city.
Secondly, this Committee came up with a project which has been
well received, and many think is an asset to the city. We did it
without professional consultants of any kind, although we have
admitted to filching ideas from other people's expensive consultants.
While the city now spends a great deal of money on consultants for
many purposes, we would like to see you first look at the great
resources of people skills among residents of the city, and in some
instances tap into them. In our case, the design of the showers,
shower benches, and trash receptacles was developed by the Committee.
Architectural drawings for the House of Refuge pavilion were donated
by Digby Bridges, and drawings for the flagpole monument and the
smaller shelters by Chris O'Hare. Many talented citizens would be
honored to be asked to participate in city projects, and you would
always have staff review and City Commission approval as a safeguard.
The entire Committee has appreciated the privilege of serving
on this committee.
Respectfully submitted,

DELRAY BEACH CITY COMMISSION
GOAL SETTING WORKSHOP
PRESENTATION BY DELRAY BEACH
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
MY NAME IS KEVIN EAGAN. I AM CHAIRMAN OF COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY. THE CRA IS A QUASI GOVERNMENT AGENCY CREATED UNDER CHAPTER
163 OF THE FLORIDA STATUES AND BY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH. YOUR CRA WAS CREATED IN 1985.
THE MISSION OF A CRA IS TO FACILITATE THE REMOVAL OR REHABILITATION
OF DETERIORATED STRUCTURES IN BLIGHTED AND SLUM AREAS; TO PROVIDE
OR ASSIST IN PROVIDING CREATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITHIN THE
CRA DISTRICT; AND TO ENCOURAGE REDEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE ATTRACTION
OF NEW BUSINESSES WHICH WILL CREATE ADDITIONAL JOBS IN THE AREA.
THE CRA DISTRICT COVERS APPROX. 1300 ACRES IN AN AREA LYING EAST
OF 1-95, SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST 10TH ST. AND NORTH TO LAKE IDA ROAD,
NORTHWEST-NORTHEAST 4TH ST., AND EASTWARD TO FEDERAL HIGHWAY. PLUS
A CORRIDOR RUNNING EASTWARD ALONG EAST ATLANTIC AVENUE TO AlA AND
NORTHWARD TO THE BOYNTON BEACH CITY LIMITS LINE ALONG THE OLD DIXIE
HIGHWAY AND FEDERAL HIGHWAY CORRIDOR.
THE EFFORTS OF THE CRA IN THE PAST HAVE BEEN HAMPERED BY A LACK OF
FUNDS. BECAUSE OF THIS THE CITY PROVIDED A $2.3 MILLION LINE OF
CREDIT TO THE CRA FROM THE PROCEEDS OF A UTILITY TAX REVENUE BOND
ISSUE. THE ADVANCE OF THESE FUNDS PERMITTED THE CRA TO MOVE
FORWARD ON A NUMBER OF IMPORTANT PROJECTS INCLUDING: THE $1.5
MILLION EAST ATLANTIC BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT; ACQUIRING ALL OF THE
LAND THAT THE NEW SOUTH PALM BEACH COUNTY COURTHOUSE IS LOCATED ON;
THE ACQUISITION OF THE GEORGIA TOWN TAVERN PROPERTY ON WEST
ATLANTIC AVENUE, THE PURCHASE OF THE 7-11 STORE AND LAUNDROMAT ON
WEST ATLANTIC AVE AND A 6-APARTMENT COMPLEX ON SOUTHWEST 1ST AVE.
UNDER THE TERMS OF AN INTER-LOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH AND PALM BEACH COUNTY, THE CRA IS REQUIRED TO ACQUIRE
THE FULL BLOCK BOUNDED BY WEST ATLANTIC, SOUTHWEST 1ST AND 2ND
AVENUES AND SOUTHWEST 1ST STREET TO BE USED FOR FUTURE COURTHOUSE
EXPANSION, NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 1996. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF
ACQUIRING THE BOCA AUTO PARTS STORE ON WEST ATLANTIC AVENUE.
BECAUSE THE COUNTY OWNS THE BUILDING ON SOUTHWEST 1ST, SOUTH OF OUR
APARTMENTS. THE ONLY REMAINING PROPERTIES TO BE ACQUIRED ARE THE
18 UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX OWNED BY DR. NORRIS. OUT OF THE
REMAINING $840,000 IN OUR LINE OF CREDIT, THERE WILL NOT BE
SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO ACQUIRE BOTH THE AUTO PARTS STORE AND DR.
NORRIS' APARTMENTS; SO AT SOME FUTURE DATE PRIOR TO 1996 WE WILL
NEED ADDITIONAL FUNDING ASSISTANCE THROUGH AN EXPANDED LINE OF
CREDIT FROM THE CITY TO ACQUIRE THIS PROPERTY.
1
MAJOR PROJECTS NOW UNDER CONSIDERATION
1. PINEAPPLE GROVE REDEVELOPMENT AREA
THE CRA HAS HIRED AN ARCHITECT TO CONCENTRATE ON THE 2ND BLOCK OF
NORTHEAST SECOND AVENUE KNOWN AS PINEAPPLE GROVE WAY, FOR THE
PURPOSE OF EVENTUALLY CREATING A PROTOTYPE MODEL BLOCK THAT
HOPEFULLY WILL HAVE A RIPPLE EFFECT AND EXPAND INTO OTHER BLOCKS.
THE CITY IS ALREADY COMMITTED TO AN $85,000 BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT
ALONG NORTHEAST 2ND AVE FROM ATLANTIC AVE. TO NE 4TH ST. WHICH WILL
INCLUDE 4 SCULPTURES (1 IN EACH BLOCK) WITHIN THIS PROJECT. AS
PART OF THIS PROJECT, THE CITY IS FORWARDING A GRANT REQUEST TO THE
STATE FOR FUNDS TO DO ADVANCE DESIGN PLANNING OF BANKERS ROW, THE
ONE BLOCK AREA ON NE 1ST AVE FROM NE 2ND ST TO NE 3 RD ST. AND AS
YOU KNOW, THIS LINKAGE LEADS TO THE OLD SCHOOL SQUARE REDEVELOPMENT
PROJECT, SO THIS WHOLE AREA IS BECOMING ONE OF THE MAJOR
REDEVELOPMENT AREAS THAT WE ARE CONCENTRATING ON AT THIS TIME.
2. PEACH UMBRELLA REDEVELOPMENT BLOCK
THIS PROJECT INCLUDES THE AREA ON WEST ATLANTIC BETWEEN NW 4TH AND
5TH AVE ON BOTH THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDES OF THE STREET. THE CRA
ALSO HIRED AN ARCHITECT TO DEVELOP PLANS FOR THE REHABILITATION AND
REDEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS IN THIS BLOCK WITH THE
EQUAL INTENT OF MAKING IT A PROTOTYPE MODEL FOR WEST ATLANTIC AVE.
WHICH, IF SUCCESSFUL, WILL EXPAND WESTWARD INTO ADDITIONAL BLOCKS.
THE CRA ALREADY OWNS THE GEORGIA TOWN PROPERTY IN THE BLOCK AND IS
IN THE PROCESS OF ACQUIRING THE OLD TAXI STAND PROPERTY AS WELL AS
THE ABANDONED GAS STATION ON THE CORNER OF SW 5TH AVE. BY OWNING
PROPERTY IN THIS AREA WE WILL INSURE THAT WHAT IS BUILT IN THIS
AREA WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE OVERALL GOALS OF THE PROJECT.
3 . WEST ATLANTIC REDEVELOPMENT AREA
THANKS TO THE CITY HIRING A NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNER AS WELL AS
AGREEING TO HIRE A FULL TIME PLANNER TO WORK ON THE CRA
REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AND OTHER PROJECTS WE, WITH THE COOPERATION OF
DAVID KOVACS AND HIS CITY PLANNING DEPT., ARE NOW ABLE TO BEGIN THE
PLANNING PROCESS FOR DEVELOPING A MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE
WEST ATLANTIC AVE. AREA TO I-95. THIS PROCESS AS WELL AS THE TIME
TABLE FOR DEVELOPING THIS PLAN WILL BE 7 - 12 MONTHS. THE
NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING PROCESS THAT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED BY MR KOVACS
CLOSELY TRACKS THE PROCEDURE~ REQUIRED FOR DEVELOPING THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN THAT EXTENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PARTICIPATION
WILL TAKE PLACE. THERE WILL BE MANY NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS WITH
RESIDENTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS PARTICIPATING IN THE PLANNING AND
DISCUSSION PROCESS. THE FINAL PRODUCT WILL, AFTER REVIEW AND
PUBLIC HEARINGS BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD AND THE CITY
COMMISSION, BECOME PART OF A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT.
4. WINN DIXIE BUILDING
2
THE CRA HAS AUTHORIZED AN APPRAISAL OF THIS PROPERTY SO THAT WE
WILL HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT THE PROPERTY WILL COST IF WE MOVE
FORWARD WITH THE ACQUISITION OF THE PROPERTY, POSSIBLY TO BE USED
BY PALM BEACH COMMUNITY COLLEGE WHO HAS EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN
HAVING A DELRAY BEACH CAMPUS. THIS PROJECT IS STRONGLY SUPPORTED
BY THE PINEAPPLE GROVE SUPPORT GROUP WHICH BELIEVES THAT THE
HOLDING OF CLASSES IN THIS AREA WILL ATTRACT 300-400 STUDENTS A DAY
WHICH WILL IN TURN GENERATE ADDITIONAL RETAIL TRAFFIC AND
DEVELOPMENT. WE WILL NEED THE CITY'S ASSISTANCE IN BRINGING THIS
PROJECT TO FRUITION SINCE THE COST OF RENOVATING THAT BUILDING WILL
BE WELL IN EXCESS OF $1 MILLION DOLLARS NOT TO MENTION THE
ACQUISITION COSTS WHICH COULD RUN OVER $600,000.
5. IN-FILL HOUSING PROGRAM
THE CRA PLANS TO ACQUIRE AT LEAST 2 LOTS ON WHICH IT INTENDS TO
CONSTRUCT MODEL HOMES WHICH LOCAL RESIDENTS CAN INSPECT AND MAKE
A DETERMINATION IF THIS IS THE TYPE OF HOUSING THAT THEY WOULD LIKE
IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO MOVE IN TO. SUCH
NEW AFFORDABLE IN-FILL HOUSES WILL THEN BE USED AS AN INDUCEMENT
AND INCENTIVE FOR RESIDENTS TO MOVE INTO IN EXCHANGE FOR FREEING
UP THEIR PROPERTY IN FUTURE TARGETED BLOCKS WHICH MIGHT BE
DESIGNATED FOR REDEVELOPMENT. WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO WORK VERY
CLOSELY WITH THE CITY AND LYLA BUTLER AS YOU DEVELOP YOUR IN-FILL
HOUSING PROGRAM WHICH IS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN NEXT FISCAL YEAR WITH
THE PROVISION OF $300,000 AS PROJECTED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
WE ASK THAT THE CITY COMMISSION ENDORSE A POLICY WHICH WOULD GIVE
PRIORITY TO ANY PROJECTS OR INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE
INCLUDED IN THE DECADE OF EXCELLENCE BOND ISSUE AND THE CITY' S
ANNUAL BUDGET THAT WOULD BE DESIGNATED FOR THE CRA REDEVELOPMENT
AREA ESPECIALLY IN THE PINEAPPLE GROVE AND PEACH UMBRELLA PROJECT
AREAS. THIS WOULD INCLUDE THE CLOSE COOPERATION OF THE UTILITY
DEPARTMENT IN INSTALLING OR RELOCATING OF WATER AND SEWER LINES
PRIOR TO ANY NEW ROADS OR ALLEYS BEING REPAVED AS WELL AS ANY
MONIES FOR BEAUTIFICATION. WE ALSO NEED TO MOVE FORWARD QUICKLY
ON DETERMINING HOW THE $500.000 REDEVELOPMENT SEED MONEY FOR THE
PINEAPPLE GROVE AREA WILL BE UTILIZED.
I WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS MY THANKS AND
APPRECIATION FOR THE WORK AND COOPERATION SHOWN BY LULA BUTLER AND
DAVID KOVACS. IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL THAT THEY AND OTHER
REPRESENTATIVES OF THE CITY WORK EXTREMELY CLOSE WITH OUR EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR, FRANK SPENCE IN COORDINATING OUR JOINT EFFORTS IN
PROVIDING FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THESE TARGETED PROJECTS AS WELL
AS THE PROVISION OF ADDITIONAL, MUCH NEEDED AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
I THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO APPEAR BEFORE YOU AND I WOULD
BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

McCarthy, Ann Sheridan, Daryl G_ Bush, Executive Vice President, Joyce K. Winiewicz
The Delray Beach Board of REALTORS is comprised of approximately 375 members
who are committed to making Delray Beach an attractive and desirable community
in which to live, work and play. Many of our members are very active in the
community through various service clubs, social clubs, appointees of city
advisory boards and even occasionally an elected official. We have volunteered
and served on many committees to help in such efforts as fund raising for
charities, blood drives, and registering new residents to vote. Our REALTOR
members take pride in their involvement in Delray Beach.
The Delray Beach Board of REALTORS was chartered in 1936. All of our members
are also members of the National Association of REALTORS, the world's largest
trade association with over 800,000 members and the Florida Association of
REALTORS with nearly 80,000 members statewide. By the way, the Florida Associ-
ation of REALTORS has the largest PAC in the state.
The Board maintains a highly sophisticated, timely information computer network
system with on-line access to all Multiple Listing Service information. Mem-
bers can readily access information to any residential or commercial properties
listed through any REALTOR from Hollywood to Hypoluxo. Also available through
this system are the tax rolls and deed transfers in Dade, Broward and Palm
Beach Counties.
The Board continually provides a variety of real estate educational programs
and publicizes other courses available from other Boards and organizations.
Many of these courses are accredited so that members may use them to fulfill
their required 14 hour continuing education requirements for license renewal
every two years.
The Board also maintains a comprehensive real estate library for its members.
Available is a computer terminal, zoning maps, plats, RED! data, microfiche of
Palm Beach County properties and owners, current periodicals, books, pamphlets
and audio-visual aids.
·
Perhaps the most important aspect of being a member of the Delray Beach Board
of REALTORS is a pledge to abide by the Code of Ethics which describes the
optimum performance the public has the right to expect. The Code of Ethics
continues to be a meaningful and relevant standard of professional performance
for all of our members.
In 1989, the previous commission established the Real Estate Advisory Board for
input from a committee appointed by the Board of REALTORS with regard to any
property the City of Del ray Beach was interested in selling or purchasing. The
Advisory Board is still intact ready to assist you at any time necessary.
With respect to goal setting for the commission, the Board of REALTORS has
fully supported the efforts of the Sharing for Excellence in Schools 1990 pro-
gram and would respectfully request that the commission keep in tune with the
consensus statement of the Education Board to be sure that all of the
activities are carried out.
Sincerely,
Kathi D. Sumrall
President
Delray Beach Board of REALTORS

by City Departments, appointed boards and committees, and
community organizations. These presentations will continue
through noon on Saturday, April 7th. All of these sessions will :
be held in the City Commission Chambers.
Following the presentations, Commission members will individually
identify and categorized programs and activities which they feel
should receive the highest priority during budget preparation,
department work program development and Commission attention over .
the next year and for the short-term (five year) planning period.
At subsequent work sessions, the Commission will compile their
individual priorities and, ,by consensus, establish a unified
direction which the new City Manager will use in preparing the
items identified above.
Because of the number of departments, boards, committees and
organizations which will be participating, it is necessary to
have presen~ations limited to five to ten minutes. A standard

c) important programs and activities which need attention
during the next one to three to five years
d) your pitch for support and/or resources.
Remember that the Commission members will be hearing twelve hours
of requests. To be effective you must be precise and clear.
Also, it should be directed toward meeting goals and objectives
as opposed to completing a specific project or task.
(Even if you don't have a pitch to make, you may want to take
just two or three minutes introducing the purpose of your
organization to the newly seated City Commission.)

scheduled for Monday morning, April 2nd; a similar session for
boards, committees and community organizations has been scheduled

M E M 0 RAN DUM
TO: John W. Elliott, Jr., Asst. City Manager, Management Services
FROM: Lee R. Graham, Risk Management Director
DATE: March 5, 1990
SUBJECT: Management by Objectives
Activities
The activities of the Risk Management Department differ from those of other
departments in that they are of a reactive nature which does not lend to
quantification as, for example, departments that sponsor events, deliver
products or services, etc. We do not produce water service, re-pave roads,
issue permits, fight fires, pursue criminals.
Professional Services
Risk Management provides professional services to all other departments and
to the City as a whole. Many of these services are closely related to legal
considerations much like the City Attorney's office. In part, the success of
risk management can be measured by the quietness of the operation. For
example, the claims which have been successfully denied or controverted and
do not advance into expensive lawsuits, the loss prevention measures that are
successful in averting accidents, and the proper handling of employee-injury
compensation and insurance matters.
Goals ~
1'1.t: maj U L ~vC1l ts 0 protect the financial assets of the City from loss by
claims of all types,_ Towards this major goal, the department strives to keep
abreast of all legislation that affects the City. Seminars are attended as a
appropriate to sharpen professional skills, and training of employees in
accident prevention and control is ongoing. Additionally, goals and
objectives in various specific areas are as follows:
1. Workers' Compensation
l. Process Notice of Injury form by review, confirmation and
processing to the claims handling agency. Goal -- same day as
received.
33
John W. Elliott
March 5, 1990
Page 2
2. Authorization for employee treatment of injuries to doctors,
hospitals, pharmacists, etc. Goal -- immediate response.
3. Requests for details on claim required by the claims adjusters.
Goal -- answer within one day if possible.
4. Communicate with doctors, rehabilitation specialists, other medical
providers, etc. , about patient condition and progress. Goal --
immediate as necessary.
5. Create and maintain two way communications with department heads
and other supervisors regarding employee work-related injuries.
Goal -- an on-going process without a specific time goal.
II. Safety
l. Implement the Safety Shoe program for employees. Target date for
completion and implementation of program -- May 1, 1990.
2. Review accidents and critique for presentation to the Industrial
Accident Review Board. Goal -- review before the next monthly
meeting.
3. Advice to departments on safety facilities, equipment, workplace
hazards and remedial measures. Goal -- from immediate response to
one week response depending on complexity of the problem.
4. Investigation of special hazards associated with high to medium
risk clean-up projects. Goal -- within one week or less depending
on availability of expert sources to investigate.
III. Contracts
l. Review and advise Purchasing Department of sufficiency of insurance
requirements in vendor contracts depending on type, risk involved,
contract size, etc. Goal -- within three to five days depending on
complexity.
2. Review of user agreement forms for Parks and Recreation Department.
Design and furnish Hold Harmless Agreement language applicable to
the proposed activity. Goal -- within three to five days depending
on complexity.
3. Advice and research to tbe City Attorney regarding acceptability of
insurance and bonding c~anies. Goal -- within three days or less
depending on complexity of research required.
4. Annual review of long term contracts for compliance with City
requirements on insurauce and performance assurances. Goal --
review all relevant contracts, policies, certificates and communi-
cate with agents within one week of receiving.

IV. Claims
1. City Property: Investigate and verify 10ss. Arrange for payment
for repairs or replacement. Goal -- complete within three days.
2. Liability: Review accident reports, statements, letters and
telephone reports, etc. , to establish probability of fault.
Goal -- an ongoing process which varies in time requirements. An
absolute time value cannot be assigned to this process because no
two claims are alike.
It is hoped that these goals and objectives will outline the Management by
Objectives program for the coming year.

8.CSA (MIS)
9.Problem Management (MIS)
I will implement an additional function to the MIS Department, that of
a Resource Manager. The Resource Manager will be responsible for
maintaining (on a microcomputer) the activity of the MIS support staff.
This function will be an additional responsibility of the
Administrative Assistant and will include the following duties:
a. Problem Tracking.
Logs and tracks user requests for staff assistance.
Monitors support staff efficiency and performs analysis
for identifying problem areas for investigation and/or
better allocation of support.
b. Inventory Tracking.
Allows for quick access to information on both component
and system levels. Tracks warranty and maintenance
information. Immediate access to information on
equipment and its location.
c. Purchasing and Receiving
Lets you enter product data at the time of ordering, then
moves the data directly into inventory when items arrive.
d. Management Analysis
Analyzes trends in product purchases, distribution,
utilization and support.
With this function in place we will also qualify for IBM's CSA
maintenance Service with a substantial savings in our microcomputer
maintenance costs and an additional 3 to 5 % reduction in System 38
maintenance costs over a five year period.
f/
MIS Projects Implementation Narrative Page 3
Items:
19.Utility Billing System Sys/38
20.UTB Hand Held Mtr Reading
21.0n-line Cash Reg.
We will install a new Utility Billing and Customer Information System
on the City's System 38 computer which will greatly expand the current,
limited capabilities of the System 34 Utility Billing System. The new
system is designed to provide water and sewer billing and reporting
capabilities with on-line maintenance and customer information. The
system will store one year of history information and provide the user
with statistical reports. The system supports metered and non- metered
services as well as penalties and automatically distributes payments
for services and disbursements to the existing Accounting system.
The current hardware (System 38) and the new Utility Billing
application software will support the latest technical methods of meter
reading and cash payments.
The most time consuming and laborious (manual) tasks of a utility
system are the meter reading process and the keying of cash receipts.
We have addressed these issues insuring that the new system would
support hand-held meter reading devices. These devices are used in
conjunction with the host system and a microcomputer to down-load
accounts to the hand held devices. The hand held devices guide the
meter reader through his/her route, displaying special comments on each
account, as he records the readings. When the route is completed, the
hand-held device is up-loaded (through the microcomputer) and posted to
the system eliminating the need for someone to key (enter)
approximately five thousand readings.
The cash payments, currently entered in a batch mode, are keyed in
separately, edited and updated in separate runs. This manual procedure
is facilitated by the use of new intelligent cash registers. These
cash registers are on-line to the system and display information on
each account when payment is made. The display indicates information
about the customer (delinquent accounts, bad credit, etc. ) at the time
the payment is being made. Once payment is made and validated the
account is automatically updated, therefore inquiry to that account
will reflect the latest payment made. This system also interacts with
the current Accounting system posting all disbursements.

25.Hot Site Backup (PD/MIS)
26.Police/Fire CAD
28.Fire/EMS Records (90-91 Budget Item)
32.HDT's for POlice/Fire (90-91 Budget Item)
We will install a Public Safety System (hardware and software) that
incorporates the latest law enforcement methods and provides a
completely integrated approach to public safety. The goal of the MIS
Department, in conjunction with the Police Department, is to implement
a system that will provide better service to the users, assist in the
decision making process, support field units (Mobile Digital
Terminals), and to provide these services in the most cost effective
manner.
The Public Safety System will include, but not be limited to, the
following capabilities:
Police (law enforcement) Records Management
Fire Records Management
Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD)
Personnel System
Equipment Management
Fault Tolerance (Hot site back-up)
Public Safety Communications
The Public Safety application software will run on a host computer
(compatible with the City's IBM System 38) at the Police Department
with more than forty terminals including a Token Ring network of users
connected to the host computer for a more effective, efficient sharing
of resources.
The Fire Department will have its own remote network of intelligent
workstations at the main fire house, encompassing the three remote fire
stations, linked, via a "gateway", to the Police System and the City's
System 38 through remote communications.
The Public Safety System will connect to the City's host computer (IBM
System 38) via peer-to-peer communications for file sharing, fault
tolerance and the sharing of Office Products applications. The Public
Safety system (hardware and operating system) will also support the
City's application software i. e. , Payroll, utility Billing, Building
Permits, Purchasing/Inventory etc., that could be loaded from a current
back-up file and executed on the Police Department's computer, in case
of the City's System 38 computer failure.
YJ
MIS Projects Implementation Narrative Page 5
Item:
27. Purchasing/Inventory
We have incorporated the Purchasing Department into our remote network
giving them Office Products capabilities. We will implement a
purchasing/Inventory system with on-line requisitioning. The
purchasing system will provide a complete information flow through the
existing Accounting, Budgeting and Fixed Assets systems, from
requisitions to purchase orders and from material receipt to vendor
payment.
The system will provide a complete inventory system capable of
servicing departments individually or as part of a central purchasing
environment.
The Purchasing/Inventory System will include, but not be limited to,
the following capabilities:
Automated requisition processing
Multiple Inventory locations
Average unit cost of all items on-hand and received
Vendor/commodity cross reference
Separate order and issue units
Item:
31.Fleet Management Sys/38 (90-91 Budget Item)
The hardware necessary for remote communications to this site (similar
to Purchasing) was cut from the Fiscal 89 - 90 Budget. This capability
would have allowed the ability to access City applications (with proper
authority) i. e. , Accounting for Budget information and Office Products
for electronic mail, etc.
A Fleet Management System will provide tracking of all equipment
maintenance. The system will provide job orders, work status and
payroll hours accounting for each mechanic and departmental charge-back
capability for inter-departmental and inter-agency billing. This
software will interact with the purchasing/Inventory system.
If'/
MIS Projects Implementation Narrative Page 6
Item:
12.Engineering CAD Workstation
We will implement a microcomputer based Auto CAD system for the
Engineering Department to begin digitizing the City's maps. The
mapping procedure is long and tedious however it is the first and one
of the most important tasks in preparing for a GIS (Geographic
Information System). GIS systems are very popular because they
facilitate many projects that require the location, geographic layout,
sewer lines and other information contained on these maps. Because the
maps are generally old and not in the best shape, it is important that
this data be put into a permanent and easy-to-retrieve format. The
mapping which can be accomplished numerous ways should contain the most
detailed information and therefore should be the responsibility of the
Engineering Department. If the maps are created at the most detailed
level (most information) they will serve the needs of all departments
in the City.
We have recommended the use of Auto CAD by the Engineering Department
because it is one of the most widely used CAD systems and therefore, if
the mapping is done as per our direction, it will be compatible with
almost any GIS system we implement.
Item:
14.Inquiry pgms for County Info
MIS will tie the City Clerk's current PC network to the System 38
providing them access to the Land Management File. We have negotiated
with the County to get the County Roll tapes(MAF, NAL) on a more timely
basis (Biweekly) and will develop inquiry capability for accessing
these records. This file will contain all of the information currently
available on the County Tax Rolls.
Items:
23.Establish GEO Committee COMPLETED
24.Create GEO File for CAD
We will establish a Geo-processing Committee made up of key personnel
from the Police Department and Fire Department. The Geo-processing
committee will be responsible for creating the Geo-file for the
POlice/Fire CAD system. The MIS Department will coordinate these
activities and assist in forwarding data from the current HTE Land
Management File used by Occupational License, Building Permits, Code
Enforcement and the Utility Billing applications.

MIS Projects Implementation Narrative Page 7
Item:
22.Public utilities TR Network
Administration
To address the needs of Administration we will implement a
microcomputer network (Token Ring). The network would allow all users
to share information contained on the PC network in addition it would
allow each user, on the network, to access the System 38 (Gateway) for
Budget, utility Billing, Purchasing/Inventory, Office Products Le.,
electronic mail, calendars, etc. and provides all users access to the
primary printer (laser) . This network also facilitates adding
additional users or other networks local or remote.
The Director will also be included in the network providing him with
the capability to access the System 38 and run PC application software,
i.e. , Lotus, Dbase, HAL, etc.
A laser printer is recommended to print letters, documents, graphs and
various statistical reports in both letter and "landscape" (sideways)
format. This laser printer will be the primary printer for
administration and will be available to each user on the network.
Wastewater Collection and Water Distribution
Currently Hal Faulkner is running "MOMS" (Maintenance, Operations,
Maintenance System) Sewer system on an IBM microcomputer (PS 2 Model
60) . Not completely satisfied with the MOMS system Hal is looking into
replacing it with a similar system called "OASIS".
Bob Phillips is running Lotus and Open Access (an Inventory system) on
a Tandy PC and is considering a "MOMS System for water distribution.
Water Treatment
The water treatment facility currently has a DEC (PDP-1l34 ) computer
that is at least ten years old. The Turbitrol Control System (software
that runs on the PDP-I1), currently being used, is part of a control
system that monitors electro-mechanical devices (old technology), using
outdated programs that tract daily operations creating a historical
data base from which statistical reports are generated.
A qualified consultant will be acquired to review the maintenance,
operations and management of the current Wastewater Collection and
Water Distribution Systems to recommend the appropriate software.
Additionally the consultant should include a performance audit on the
Water Treatment (PDP-1l34) computer.
Working closely with the consultant the MIS Department will insure
compatibility, adherence to current standards and conformance to future
long range plans.

The Personnel Department is currently using the HTE payroll/personnel
application software which has limited personnel functions. The MIS
Department will assist the Personnel Department on expanding their
automation capabilities by adding human resource modules to the
existing software package or acquiring and implementing a separate
Human Resource System that will interact with the current
payroll/Personnel System. The additional capabilities will include
applicant tracking.
Item:
3D.City Wide Project Mgmt Sys/38 (90-91 Budget Item)
The MIS Department would like to implement a Project Management System
on the City's host computer (Sys/38). This system could be used to
monitor (by anyone with access to the Sys/38) the status and progress
of all of the City's major projects (Comp Plan). It can also be used
by any department i. e. , Public Utilities, Engineering and Parks and
Recreation, to schedule and monitor their work crews activity. This
system would also generate weekly, monthly and annual reports.
Approximately $ 9,000.
