Delray Beach Municipal Golf Course Lease Agreements
Commission Consideration

Municipal Golf Course leases and to provide staff direction in pursuing
options.
.
General Information
The City has two license agreements for the Municipal Golf Course, One
with Mr. Franklin Code House for operation and maintenance of the course,
and one with Mr. Jerry Miller for operation and maintenance of the Golf
Course Restaurant, Both license agreements expire December 31, 1989.
The license agreements contain a five (5) year renewal option which the
City must exercise at least 120 days prior to the expiration of the
license, If the City chose to renew these agreements, the licensees must
be notified by September 3, 1989, Both licensees have inquired about the
City's intent to exercise the renewal option.

input, and by examining RFP's from Houston, Texas and Mecklenburg County,
North Carolina,
This option is proposed by Staff because it would permit consideration of
other perspective licensees, it allows current licensees the opportunity
to submit proposals, and it provides for more autonomy in operating the
course.
Proposals would be evaluated by Staff utilizing the following criteria:
1) Audited Financial Statement.
2) General Business Statement,
3) Cash Flow Analysis,
4) Proof of Insurance,
5) Business Ownership.
6) Credit References/Personal References.
7) Outstanding Debt,
8) Equipment Financing Plan,
9) Operating Budget/Revenues.
10) Price List,
11) Experience/Organizational Chart,
12) Bonding,
13) Liens, Suits, and Contingent Liabilities.
14) Additional Capital Improvements/Payments.
15) Service Programs.
Commission selection process would be similar to that used to select
architects and engineers,
RFP Highlights
The RFP contains changes and revisions to the existing license
agreements, Highlights of these revisions and changes are as follows:
1) Provides for one (1) person or firm to operate both the golf course
and the food and beverage service,

not a full service restaurant.

4. Although I don't agree that the private sector can do
things better than the public sector, I do agree that they
have far less road blocks to contend with, City hiring
practices, civil service, union rules and regulation,
bidding procedures, requisitions and purchase orders are
but a few of the procedures that the private sector does
not have to follow that allows them to act more quickly
and efficiently.
5. If the decision is made to self operate, I ,would recommend
establishing a separate department that reports to the City
Manager or Assistant City Manager similar to ,the operation
in Boynton Beach.
The RFP will attempt to accomplish the following objectives in
seeking proposals for the operation of the golf course:
1- Provides for one (1) person or firm to operate both
the golf course and the food and beverage service,
12. Defines the food and beverage service as a snack bar ( )
, operation and not a full service restaurant.
3 , Provides for and dictates when certain capital improvements
will be completed that are the responsibility of the
proposer to finance and construct.
~~ 4. Provides for a surcharge in an amount determined by the
City that will allow for renovations to the golf course
and/or clubhouse,
5. Proposes an initial five (5 ) year term with an option to
renew for an additional two 5 year terms to provide for a
long term commitment and allow the successful proposer to
amortize the cost of their equipment and capital
improvements.
6. Provides for a payment schedule that allows the City to
cover its debt service. It should be noted that debt
service will go from its present $167,661 to $226,046 in
1993 with debt service being paid off in 2002, Although
contract payments in 1993 will not generate much in excess
of the proposal payment, it's anticipated the surcharge may
be used to finance needed improvement and projects,
7. Provides standards of maintenance for the golf course, pro
shop, clubhouse, snack bar, restrooms, locker rooms, golf
carts, etc. The U,S.G,A, is currently reviewing the
maintenance standards for the golf course.

8. Specifies that the successful proposer accept ~ll
properties, facilities, and equipment "as is" and is
responsible at its own expense to make all necessary ,
repairs, with the exception of "majOl".l;tguctural repairs"
in excess of $2,500 as defined...in...tl1e. ~Fp .----.---,
9, Provides for a performance bond of $275,000, This may be a
financial obstacle for some potential proposers, but as
long as prepaid green fees are included in the fee
structure it's necessary to protect the City's interest,
10. Provides for a proposal guarantee of $5,000 to ensure only
serious proposals and to guarantee that the successful
proposer will enter into an agreement,
~11. Because of our new wells, I have included a hazardous waste
~clause to ensure that federal and state rules are followed
in the handling and storage of chemicals,
Additionally, I have attached a list of golf course management
firms from the National Golf Foundation that we may wish to
include in our mailing list.
Most of the complaints I receive about the golf course concern
its maintenance and alleged preferential treatment on tee times,
As of now, prepaid green fees allows unlimited access to the
course any time and any day, Saturdays, Sunday, and holidays,
usually from about 7: 00 am to noon, are the prime times when
most golfers prefer to play. Prepaid green fees, although
providing for a steady clientele, tends to reduce revenues per
round and discourages others from playing the course because
permit holders tend to monopolize the 1st tee, Permits should
be used to promote the golf course, provide reduced rates for
residents, and to encourage play at a time when the golf course
is not as busy. I recommend consideration of a permit system
that allows play anytime Monday through Friday and after noon on
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Those wishing to play during
the prime hours should pay the same price as everyone else. This
would ,not be popular among some members of the gOlfi~
commun~tY'fh\.,~ t.~Q.('c.w.;.4F..t.J:..r''F"''4'~~' ....,
I recommend City Commission approve the final contract 3-6
months prior to the termination of the existing contract
(December 31, 1989) to allow plenty of lead in time for the
successful proposer. If the present licensee does not get
renewed, this will, however, give ample time for the possibility
of cutting back in maintenance to reduce operating costs and
thus increase revenues. Although I'm not suggesting this would
occur, I think it would be prudent that we plan for this as a
possibili ty. Article XV, Section C of the contract speCifies
that the bond for security is for, in part, "compliance by the
licensee with the maintenance, repair, and remedial measures
scheduled as required" etc. This suggests to me that if the
_~___ _.u_-.
"
~~i~,
, fJ-'
I.~io!c.,
condition of the golf course deteriorates, we have the option to
pull the bond, if necessary, to maintain the course, Please
review this with the City Attorney and advise if this is, a
correct interpretation.
Please review this RFP and advise of comments and suggestions,
I recommend it then be distributed to the City Manager,
Purchasing, Finance and the City Attorney for input and
comments. You may want to consider personnel from these
departments, along with the both of us, to form a committee to
review the proposals and make recommendations to the City
Manager,

RE: Comprehensive Plan Education Element
Gentlemen:
On February I, 1989 the Palm Beach County School Board reviewed and approved a
proposed optional Public Education Element for the County Comprehensive Plan. It has
been forwarded to the County Commission for inclusion in their plan.
It occurs to us that you may wish to include a similar element in your Comprehensive
Plan. For that reason we have slightly modified the text to make It more munlclpal-
specific and attached a copy for your review.
We respectfuliy request that you study the enclosed proposed element and give serious
consideration to including It as an optional element in your Comprehensive Plan.
If you or members of your staff have questions about all or part of the element, please
contact Assistant Superintendent William Hukill (684-5076) and he will meet with you at
your convenience.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Sincerely,

PUBLIC EDUCATION
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose
This optional plan element has been prepared to meet the standards of Chapter 9J-
5.018, F.A.C., as required by Chapter 163, F.S.
As one of the fastest growing public school districts in the nation, the Palm Beach
County School Board has witnessed an increase in student membership from 72,000 at
the beginning of the decade of the eighties to a projected 100,000 (see table 1) by the
end of the decade. County residents, present and future, are faced with enormous
planning and procedural responsibilities relating to ensuring that the current and future
demand for excellence in public education is met. This element incorporates current
and projected needs to address the provision of excellent public education.

The City shall cooperate with the School Board to establish an on-going relationship
with other governmental agencies, non-governmental agencies, and private groups SO
as to jointly anticipate future patterns affecting education, and to promote orderly
responsible management of resources in preparing for those patterns of development.
Policy 3-a: The City shall make improvements to sidewalks and pathways under
its jurisdiction which, without such improvements, would require the School
Board to transport students that would not be transported if such improvements
were made.
Policy 3-b: The City shall receive and consider requests from the School Board
for the inclusion of road improvements into the City road program so that such
improvements can be in place when a school opens.
Policy 3-c: The City shall support existing and proposed legislation
preventing public and private agencies from charging governmental
agencies impact fees and capacity charges.
D. OBJECTIVE 3: School Sites
The City shall cooperate with the School Board to schedule individual facility needs
in an orderly and timely manner that is responsive to continuously improving
educational requirements so as to produce functional, flexible, durable, comfortable,
pleasant facilities for all public school students.
Policy 3-a: The City shall cooperate with the School Board in the placement of
schools and shall provide appropriate infrastructure.

III. EXISTING CONDITIONS
A. Policies and Standards. All public schools in Florida are regulated by the State of
Florida through both legislation and the rules and regulations of the Florida
Department of Education. Pertinent documents are on file both with the
Department of Education in Tallahassee and with the Palm Beach County School
Board in West Palm Beach.
Public schools in Palm Beach County are also regulated by the School Board of Palm
Beach County through adopted school Board policies. Palm Beach County School
Board policies, including those related to racial balance, are on file at School Board
Offices in West Palm Beach.
B. Service Delivery System. The School Board of Palm Beach County provides
educational services to approximately 95,000 students without regard to municipal
boundaries. A comprehensive unified curriculum is provided for all students in
grades kindergarten through twelve and for thousands of others in extensive pre-
kindergarten and adult education programs.
A comprehensive program in special education is available for eligible students and
approximately 15,000 participate. Programs are provided for mentally or emotionally
handicapped; physically, visually, speech or hearing impaired; learning disabled;
autistic and gifted. Students confined to hospital or home receive instruction
through telephone and/or home visitation.
Many vocational and technical programs are offered in secondary schools and three
technical/vocational centers. Adult and community education programs are held in
community schools, tech centers and other convenient locations and are attended by
approximately 75,000 adults and 6,000 children in the average month in classes,
community meetings, recreation programs, child care, enrichment programs, etc. In
addition, certain facilities are leased to post-secondary institutions, religious groups,
private and public organizations, athletic associations and others.
Before school and after school care programs are in place in many schools, and pre-
kindergarten programs for handicapped students are offered at several locations.
School facilities are made available at numerous locations for community use and
recreation through an aggressive joint-use program with municipalities, special
taxing districts, the County, and civic organizations.
All 66 elementary schools, 19 middle/junior schools, 14 high schools, 4
special/alternative education centers, 3 vocational/technical centers and the Adult
Education Center meet or exceed State Department of Education guidelines and
requirements.
C. Service Delivery Components
Public education services through the high school level are provided by an elected,
non-partisan seven member policy-making board and are administered by an
appointed superintendent. The County is divided into three administrative areas,
each managed by an area superintendent responsible for providing principals,
teachers and students in their area with the necessary leadership to support school-
based programs which carry out the policies of the School Board.

D. Summary of Needs
Operational needs of the School District are financed through ad valorem taxes, some
state aid, and Individual grants. Capital needs are financed through optional special
millage, very limited state aid, and the sale of bonds. On file with this report is a
five-year plan for capital improvements entitled "Bonding for Excellent Schools" which
has been in place since September 1986, and which identifies both specific needs and
funding sources for the current Improvement program.
IV. FUTURE CONDiTIONS
Public education needs of Palm Beach County will be addressed through the examination
of delivery systems required to provide excellence in education and identification of
the resources required to implement the delivery system. Future conditions integrally
related to service delivery needs and costs are as follows:
0 Public education needs will increase dramatically over the next five years, and
likely will continue until build-out is reached;
0 Competing and Increasing demands for resources make it essential that
educational planning be coordinated with municipal and county governments;
taxing districts; the region: the State of Florida: and the federal government;
0 An Increasing number of parents wl1l be working and wl1l require affordable day
care for their children;
0 Several funding sources wl1l continue to be available Into the foreseeable future,
including local, state and federal taxes and grants;
0 A new funding source, a county-wide school Impact fee, was approved by voters
In Palm Beach County In September 1986, and wl1l be implemented In 1989 by
Palm Beach County.
A. Levels of Service
A major assumption regarding future conditions Is that service needs can be
extrapolated from population trends, and projected costs can be developed from histori-
cal data on file with the School Board.
The present common denominators In projecting future enrollments are the relationship
between numbers of students and county-wide population; the relationShip between
number/type of residential units and students generated: and the relationship between
the number/type of residential units prOjected at build-out and students generated in
each type unit. Applying factors to determine the relationship between growth rate
and build-out Is more difficult, and Is projected by observing birth rates and promotion
rates using a cohort survival technique and adjusting for industrial development,
building permits, development and subdivision review, etc. See Table 2.
B. Financinp;.
The Palm Beach County School Board currently levies the maximum amount permitted
by State law to finance both Its operational expenses and Its capital Improvement
expenses. The School Board has lobbied, Is lobbying and wl1l continue to lobby the
legislature of the State of Florida to Increase maximum permissible local levies to
permit the School Board of Palm Beach County to achieve the outlined levels of
service.

The financial resources required by the Palm Beach County School Board over the next
10 years are based on cohort survival projections made by both the Department of
Education of the State of Florida and the Palm Beach County School Board, coupled with
historical data on file at both agencies. A projected annual inflation rate of 3 percent is
incorporated in cost estimates.

Re: Residential Density Limits, City of Delray Beach
Dear Mr. Hukill:
This is in response to your letter regarding the School Board's
concerns and your presentation to the City Commission on December
1, 1988. At that meeting you requested that the City Commission
consider placing a density limit on the area within our City
designated as a "Pocket of Poverty" by the US Department of
Housing & Urban Development. Your concerns were primarily with
the proposed construction of a 368 multi-family rental
development called Auburn Trace. The School Board took the
position that this development would have a negative impact
because it would place a large group of one particular element
of society in a geographic area which is already predominantly
the same, thus negatively impacting the racial balance of certain
schools.
The Commission discussion that followed your presentation
expressed a willingness to be more flexible with regard to the
number of units to be constructed and that the City should work
as close as possible with the School Board during our review and
approval process to address these concerns. As a result of your
concerns, the City Commission reduced the density of the project
from 10,to 7 units per acre. Our contract with the developers
requires that priority of occupancy be given to Delray Beach
residents. Staff has been directed to ensure that vacated
substandard units within the target area not be occupied unless
they are brought up to standard condition. The developer has
agreed to document the residency of proposed tenants prior to
entering into a lease agreement with appropriate staff.

Residential Density Limits
It is the opinion of staff that the proposed development will
not significantly increase the minority population of our City.
Tenants occupying the new development will be those currently
living in overcrowded units, dilapidated units and extended
family relationships. The intent of the Commission is to provide
decent, safe and affordable housing to its current residents.
The City will continue its current efforts through Code
Enforcement activities and the Community Development Block Grant
Program to upgrade existing housing stock, provide for the
elimination of blighted conditions and the development of infill
housing that would be consistent with established zoning
regulations. Staff will be responsible for monitoring the
development and occupancy of the Auburn Trace Project for
consistency with established goals and objectives.
Please feel free to contact me if you have additional concerns
regarding this matter or if we might be of further assistance.

Dear Mr. Barry:
Late last year we met with you and your CIty Commission and presented
our reasons for requesting that the City of Delray Beach place a density
lImit on the "pocket of poverty" described at the meeting. At that tIme
consensus seemed to be that our request would be treated seriously, and, In
fact, that your staff would accumulate appropriate data on the sUbject.
We respectfully request that you share wIth us any Information whIch you
may have collected relating to densities/negative racial balance, and also
affirm for us steps you may be planning to prevent development activity
from negatively impacting publlc schools in your area.
Your continuing cooperation is appreciated.

CITY COMMISSION DOCUMENTATION
MEETING OF MARCH 8, 1988 DATE March 1, 1988
SUUJlCT CONSIDERATION OF A PROPOSAL TO ESTABLISH A STEERING COMMITTEE
OR COORDINATING COMMITTEE WITH RESPECT TO C.B.D. MATTERS
ITEM BEFORE THE COMMISSION:
The City Commission is being asked to provide policy direction
and to formally establish a body which will be a formal
"clearinghouse" of matters affecting the Central Business
District (CBD) of Delray Beach.
BACKGROUND:
The Planning and Zoning Board has hosted three "roundtable"
discussions which have focussed on the CBD. Evolving from those
discussions has been an organizational structure which is
intended to provide for the coordination of information. The
resulting committee (or group) may also serve in an advisory
capacity to the City Commission.
Attached is an outline and description of the proposed structure.
Also attached are formal responses from the CRA, DDA, Historic
Preservation Board, and Chamber of Commerce. Each letter
endorses the proposal to some degree. The Planning and Zonin9
Board at its meeting of February 22nd formally endorsed the
proposal. One aspect of the proposal which is not endorsed is
that of having the "Executive Committee" functioning as the
administrator of any staff personnel. The Chamber also suggested
a reduced role for the group.
Since the City Commission will be the bOdy which will officially
recognize and establish any such coordinating function, it should
take this matter under advisement and provide direction.

The Chamber's Executive Committee has reviewed the Central
Business District Steering Committee concept discussed at the last
roundtable meeting and wishes to provide the following comments:
Firstly. the group felt that the need to have better comm-
unications between the many groups working for the betterment of
our downtown area is a pressing one and heartily endorses the con-
cept of having representatives of these various groups meet bn a
regular basis tq exchange ideas and to provide updates on their
activities.
The Executive Committee would delete reference to staff as
shown in the chart and also delete the line calling for by-laws.
since it is their feeling that this group shpuld remain an in-
formal one working in cooperation with each other to make Delray
a better community.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Commission
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: FIRE STATION NO. 1 RELOCATION
DATE: March 2, 1989
We expect to sell City owned property presently used as a tennis
center. From a marketing point of view, advisable to also add the Fire
Station No. 1 property. This would combine the two parcels and likely
would generate a more attractive development for the City. This
relocation decision necessarily involves consideration of alternate
sites.
Attention has thus far been focussed along Atlantic Avenue between 4th
Avenue and 8th Avenue and along 2nd Street/Martin Luther King between
1st Avenue and 2nd Avenue on either of two City owned parcels.
A decision whether to relocate both Fire Administration and Fire
response activities in the same building or not also needs to be made.
Administrative and Inspection offices could be moved to City Hall,
adjacent to Code Enforcement and Building Inspection departments.
Members from the West Atlantic Avenue Property OWners Association have
been approached for input on this item as has the CRA. Both groups
prefer the West Atlantic Avenue. Neither has taken a position on
whether or not the facility should be a joint administration/fire
response facility or fire response only, leaving this instead to us for
resolution. Depending upon the costs involved, I would prefer to
relocate Fire Administration and Inspection Services to the City Hall
location so as to allow better interaction with Development Services
department staff. A staff memorandum is attached for your information.

M E M 0 RAN DUM
TO: WALTER O. BARRY, CITY MANAGER
FROM: KERRY B. KOEN, FIRE CHIEF
DATE: MARCH 2, 1989
SUBJECT: FIRE STATION LOCATION ANALYSIS - HEADQUARTERS
FACILITY
The City of Delray Beach purchased a computer based fire
station location model in July of 1986 to assist the Fire
Department in evaluating the efficiency of current fire station
locations. The model permits both present and projected community
fire protection and emergency medical service requirements to be
systematically evaluated.
REASONS FOR ANALYSIS
One of the main reasons leading to the implementation of the
fire station location model was the imminent need to replace two
existing fire stations, both constructed in 1955, and to
determine an appropriate site for a future fire station in the
southwestern portion of the city. The additional fire station
location is needed to reduce excessive response times in that
portion of the community, and to provide additional system
capacity for both fire operations and emergency medical services
on a city wide basis. The two older existing fire stations are
extremely small and no longer adequately serve the needs of the
community. Neither site lends itself to expansion. One of these
older stations, Fire Station No. 2 presently at 23 Andrews
Avenue, is approved in the current capital improvements program
budget for reconstruction. A replacement for Fire Department
Headquarters, presently at 101 West Atlantic Avenue, has been
requested by the Fire Department and the City Administration and
has been included in the current five year infrastructure plan.
Similarly, future Fire Station No. 5 in the southwest area of the
city has also been requested and is included in the same capital
improvements program. Neither of these two projects is currently
funded, but both are presently included in the proposed '~ecade
of Excellence" bond issue. Fire Station No. 2 is now in the
preliminary design phase and proposed Fire Station No. 5 is still
in the planning phase, although a tentative site recommendation
may be forthcoming as part of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
At this point, it is recommended that a site be selected by
the City Commission for a new fire headquarters facility. This
faciE ty is presently envisioned to include both a fire station
element and an administration element. However, other options
and alternatives will be explored with the city's consulting
engineers, Gee and Jenson, as part of their work to conduct a
needs analysis for this project. As a result of the work of the
consultants, a more precise construction budget and site plan can
be developed to aid the Administration in finalizing the planning
phase for the facilities themselves, the land acquisition phase,
and refining construction estimates for the bond issue.

FIRE DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS
Fire Department Headquarters (Fire Station No.1) primarily
serves the central portion of the city. Due to its location,
units from this facility also provide secondary response and
supplemental coverage for most incidents throughout the
community. This facility also houses all departmental
administrative functions and staff. In addition to the present
site at 101 West Atlantic Avenue, thirteen alternate sites
(intersection designations) were included in the street and
highway network:
1. 101 West Atlantic Avenue (current site)
2. West Atlantic Avenue and 3rd Avenue
3. West Atlantic Avenue and 4th Avenue
4. West Atlantic Avenue and 5th Avenue
5. West Atlantic Avenue and 6th Avenue
6. West Atlantic Avenue and 8th Avenue
7. West Atlantic Avenue and 12th Avenue
8. N.W. 2nd Street and N.W. 1st Avenue
9. N.E. 2nd Avenue and N.E. 1st Street
10. N.E. 5th Avenue and N.E. 1st Street
11. N.E. 4th Street and Swinton Avenue
12. S.E. 4th Street and Swinton Avenue
13. North Federal Highway and Lake Avenue S.
14. N.E. 2nd Avenue and 16th Street
Analysis of the data generated from the study indicates that
the present site is generally well suited to provide primary and
secondary emergency response to designated areas of the
community. Accordingly, it would be desirable to locate the
replacement facility in close proximity to the present facility
as possible in order to maintain approximately the same service
levels. Since travel time is largely dependent upon achieved
travel speeds and congestion levels found on "local" streets it
is desirable to locate a fire station on, or very close to a
major east-west and north-south arterial system.
Typically, alternate sites were not included for analysis
which were located east of the Federal Highway corridor due to
the close proximity of Fire Station No.2; or south of Atlantic
Avenue, with one exception, due to the proximity of Fire Station
No.3. Another major consideration pertaining to site selection
for a replacement facility is the maintenance of effective access
to the central business district, an area containing a
concentrated portion of the community's fire risk potential.
Further, review of travel time and risk potential, both fire and
emergency medical service, suggests that a replacement facility
should not be located too far from the present location due to
the need to respond expeditiously to northern portions of the
city. This area contains a large number of public and private
schools, a redeveloping and expanding commercial area, and
numerous residential areas. Response to these areas depends
heavily upon the use of North Swinton Avenue, Seacrest Boulevard,
and Northbound Federal Highway. Therefore, proximity
relationship to these north/south corridors is especially
important.
The purpose of the following section of the report is to
identify a range of site options which will achieve desired
travel times, and at the same time maintain rapid and efficient
access to those portions of the community which have some of the
highest demands for service, are somewhat remote, and contain
some of the highest relative levels of risk.

Headquarters Facility
The replacement facility for Fire Department Headquarters
could effectively be located on West Atlantic Avenue between the
present site and 8th Avenue or at N.W. 2nd Street and N.W. 1st
Avenue without a negative impact on present service levels.
However, should an Atlantic Avenue site be selected it is not
recommended to locate the facility further westward than 8th
Avenue to avoid unacceptable increases in average response times
to northern portions of the city. These recommended sites also
consider the desirability of maintaining a functional and
operational relationship between this facility and other
governmental agencies in or near the Civic Center. The following
table indicates the average travel times for various sites
relative to the current location. Those marked with an asterisk
(*) are recommended for City Commission consideration for this
new facility.
AVERAGE TRAVEL TIMES - EXISTING AND ALTERNATE SITES
SITE LOCATION AVERAGE TRAVEL TIME
1. 101 West Atlantic Avenue (current site) 2.74 min.
8. N.W. 2nd Street & N.W. 1st Avenue 2.74 min. *
2. West Atlantic Avenue & 3rd Ave. 2.78 min. *
3. West Atlantic Avenue & 4th Ave. 2.80 min, *

FROM: LULA C. BUTLER, DIRECTOR, COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT 'IU5
RE: HANDYMAN OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE
COMMISSION ACTION
Pursuant to the request from Mayor Campbell of March 9th, staff
has consulted with Palm Beach County to determine their licensing
procedure for "Handymen." The detailed staff report along with
information supplied by Palm Beach County is attached for
Commission review. In contrast with the citizen complaint, Palm
Beach County does not issue Handyman licenses, but instead issues
an "Interior Trim" license.
Staff does not recommend the establishment of a Handyman license
in the City of Delray Beach. The detailed staff report provides
the justification for this position.

MEMORANDUM

From: Joyce A. Desorrneau, Occ. Lic. & Sign Admin.()~
,
Date: March 15, 1989
Subject: HANDYMAN OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reference Mayor Campbell's handyman occupational license inquiry March 9,
1989.
Delray Beach occupational licensing code does not have a handyman category.
This was done in cooperation with the Palm Beach Construction Board, as most
work done by a handyman, from painting to changing faucets, requires a
contractors competency test by the Construction Board.
The Construction Board strongly discourages cities adding this category, as
investigation of consumer complaints reveals that handymen once inside a house
have been doing major interior jobs including moving dry wall, electrical,
plumbing, etc. .
Palm Beach County also does not issue handyman licenses (see attached), but
instead issues an interior trim license. This is due to Palm Beach
Construction Board deregulating and no longer giving tests for selected
categories such as cabinet installation, granular surfacing, gutter & down
spout, luminous ceiling, mirror, paper hanging, etc.
The county has taken these categories and combined them under the Interior
Trim category. There was absolutely no intention for this to be considered a
handyman license, per attached statement, which must be signed upon
application.
Unfortunately, the interior trim category is misunderstood by many businesses
to be a handymans license, which has precipitated the violations issued by the
county (attached) for handyman related businesses advertising and engaging in
the business and acting as a Residential contractor without certification.
The city of Delray Beach has elected not to combine the deregulated
categories under one category, but carries them individually as non-contractor
categories (i. e., non-contractor cabinet installation). We have done this to
accommodate the deregulated contractors who desire to retain their competency
card from Palm Beach Construction Board for each selected classification, in
addition to those who are no longer required to take the competency test.
A sample of local cities canvassed who have not added this category in their
city for the above stated reasons include: Boynton Beach, Boca Raton,
Deerfield Beach, Lauderdale Lakes, Homestead, Margate, Davie, Plantation,
Sunrise, Ft. Lauderdale, Pembroke Park, Tamarac, Pompano Beach, Broward
County, and Palm Beach County. There was no one contacted who condoned
handyman licenses.
"-
, "-
Considering the above facts pertinent to the construction industry, it is
strongly urged the handyman category not be considered as an additional
category for occupational licensing.

By copy of this letter, I am requesting that Mr. Walter Barry, City Manager give
us a copy of the licensing procedure in Palm Beach County.
This item should be on the next appropriate workshop agenda and I DON'T MEAN

Mr. Doak S . Campbell, I I I
Mayor "
City of Delray Beach
100 N.W.lst Avenue
Delray Beach, PL 33444
"
Dear Mayor Campbell and City Commissioners,
Some time ago I attempted to apply for a "Handyman"
occupational license from the City of Delray Beach, only
to find that the. city has no such license on the list of
occupational licenses. I was told that if I did not like
" it, to speak to the people in charge, and that I'm afraid
is you.
So far, of the three licenses I have applied for, one took
two months (a building permit) with a lot of unnecessary
bureaucratic aggraviation. For this privilege, I was not
only required to pay the standard fee, but also required to
throw into the "Kitty" (Historic Preservation Board) an
extra $25.00 for good measure.
, The "Handyman" license, which is available from the Palm
Beach County, is no where to be found in the of the City
of Delray Beach. The available selection is narrowly
defined and meager at best. Not at all what I wanted.
You'll be relieved to know that the third attempt went
relatively smoothly. I guess "two out of three ain't bad?"
Right?
There are two thing I would like you to do for me. First,
create a "Handyman" license, similar to that of Palm Beach
County. Licensing could be something as simple as a
photo-I.D. card, or follow the county's procedure, what
ever they may use. (You might also want to pick up other
catagories and definitions in use by the County. )
.
.
.
Second, go through All licensing and streamline it, s,o
that it simpler, less painful and time consuming. As it
stands now, you are losing vast amounts of fees because
people are avoiding City Hall. You are forcing citizens to
make a conscious decision whether to go through the
aggraviation of even applying for a license (if it
exists), or just ignore the City and hope you don't get
caught. Personally, r don't appreciate being put in such a
position, and neither would youl
Thanking you for your time and effort, I remain
..
