Palm Beach County Administrator's office indicating that Palm Beach staff has recommend
that they go forward with the sale of the property to a private individual in the amount of

Secondly, with regard to prior comments expressed by Mr. MacNamee about
the Public Safety pension, the City Manager stated Mr. MacNamee's concerns are valid;
however, the subject matter of collective bargaining and the City's ability to address that
issue depends upon the outcome with the Fire union.
With regard to prior comments expressed by Ms. MacManus about bus
delays or lack of bus space, the City Manager stated the design was deliberate on a part of
FDOT based upon right-of-way and design requirements. The City Manager stated the
stopping time of the bus is due to operational issues involving Palm Tran which the City is

omission.
Lastly, the City Manager stated he met with Mr. David Schmidt concerning
the Sister City Program for Haiti pursuant to the resolution and the City is beginning that
process.
6.13. From the Public.
6.13.1. Jim Smith, 1225 South Ocean Boulevard, Delray Beach, FL 33483
(speaking on behalf of S.A.F.E.), congratulated Senior Planner Amy Alvarez on her
excellent presentation at last week's MPO (Metropolitan Planning Organization) Sub -
Committee Meeting earning the Seacrest Beautification Project at a #1 transportation
alternative ranking out of eleven (11) projects submitted through other cities throughout
Palm Beach County.
6.13.2. Gary L. Fishman, 3504 Diane Drive, Boynton Beach, FL 33435 (Acting
President of the Diane Drive Neighborhood Association and surrounding
neighborhoods north of Lake Ida Park), stated they would be in the immediate pathway
of the traffic towards the park or natural area and he expressed concern that Diane Drive is
not adequate to handle the increased traffic. Mr. Fishman stated less than a week ago a dog
suffered fatal wounds from a large alligator bite to the north of the 4.85 acre parcel. He
commented about the dangers of parks and natural areas if not adequately prepared for a
04/06/15
pathway (i.e. berm, seawalls, and removal of aquatic vegetation) is necessary along with a
raised boardwalk. Mr. Fishman stated he and hundreds of other residents do not support the
purchase, development, and maintenance of this land because of what it would cost Delray
Beach.
6.B.3. Lakmichand Kalra, 3842 South Lake Drive, Boynton Beach, FL 33435
(has lived here for over 30 years), stated he will not give access from his private land to a
public bikeway because he feels it will destroy his gated community. Mr. Kalra expressed
concerns over security issues and read an email into the record dated April 1, 2015 from
Palm Beach County Administrator Robert Weisman to Delray Beach City Manager Donald
Cooper.
6.B.4. Pauline Moody, 609 S.W. 81h Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444,
commented about an incident that happened to her last Thursday at the Caring Kitchen.
Secondly, Ms. Moody commented about the traffic congestion on Atlantic
Avenue heading east and stated some of the restaurants could have been built west of
Swinton instead of trying to pack everything east. She suggested that a proper traffic
management assessment be done and stated it is difficult to cross the road to get to the
library. Ms. Moody stated when the Courthouse parking is filled they use the parking
garage for the library. She stated Hudson Holdings wants to build a hotel in this area.
6.B.5. Jeanne Byron, 1010 Nassau Street, Delray Beach, FL 33483 (has owned
this home for 20 years), stated beachgoers are using Nassau Street because there is not
enough parking. She stated they do their best to not park on the street but there are
occasions when that is the only option. Ms. Byron stated this is an issue particular for those
people with children and because of the enormous growth in Delray the residents on this
street have to bear the burden due to not having sufficient parking for the beachgoers.
The City Manager stated he has had telephone conversations with individuals
who live on Nassau Street concerning service providers that is an issue for anybody that has
guests, etc. on Nassau Street. Furthermore, the City Manager stated he has personally
inspected that area and he envisions something like the Marina Historic District ultimately
being implemented for that area.
6.B.6. Don Klein, 4552 North Barwick Ranch Circle, Delray Beach, FL 33445,
stated he was the individual that raised the issue about the guardrails on Barwick Road and
appreciates the expeditious response. However, he stated this is the second time that their
community has been overlooked and his community does not have access to the walking
path on the other side of Barwick Road. Mr. Klein urged the Commission to consider the
aesthetics of the guardrails and that going forward to stop this Band-Aid approach to solve
the immediate problem of the vocal groups and look at the broader long-term plan for
Barwick Road.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated that the Commission needed something to
be done as soon as possible because any day another child could have been hurt.

04/06/15
Mr. Katz stated the guardrail was only supposed to be about 100 yards (a
quarter mile) until where the curb began because the whole point the Commission brought
forward in the beginning was there was no curb. He stated all the discussions were about
this small section without a curb because one of the options brought before the Commission
was actually adding curb for that section but was it started getting installed it went three
times as long as the original plan. Furthermore, Mr. Katz stated the City has safety there
with a curb for that portion already and there was no reason to install the extra guardrail and
spend that money because it was never part of the discussion. Mr. Katz stated the temporary
fix would be to open it up so that people from Barwick Ranch Estates can get over to the
crosswalk and there also needs to be an opening for the South Florida Water Management
District (SFWMD) to have access to canal.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated there have been numerous concerns over
the years about cars parked on the outside for Barwick Park. The City Manager stated the
issue brought before the City Commission in February 2015 was that the guard rail would
be approximately 2,700 lineal feet (LF); the City can make openings for pedestrians.
However, the City Manager stated the City will have to stripe Barwick Road for that
pedestrian crossing to do it properly and to put up the appropriate signage. The City
Manager stated he personally met with the Construction Inspector at Barwick Road and they
stopped just short of 2,700 lineal feet (LF) but the City can fix the issue of pedestrian access
easily.
6.B.7. Alan Schlosberg, 200 MacFarlane Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33483,
extended his congratulations Mayor Glickstein, Vice Mayor Petrolia, and Commissioner
Katz for a very successful campaign.
Secondly, Ms. Schlosberg stated he sent a copy of the lawsuit that was filed
by Indian River County against Florida All Aboard. He stated Treasure Coast has
committed about $4 million towards other legal suits with maybe more to come. Mr.
Schlosberg urged the City Commission to pass a resolution objecting to Florida All Aboard
running through the streets 24/7 and join the rest of the coastal community in their efforts
and support those efforts.
6.B.8. Bob Ganger, 1443 North Ocean Boulevard, Gulf Stream, FL 33483,
stated on April 20, 2015 there is a hearing in Tallahassee on the subject of All Aboard
Florida in which a newly formed group of people will be determining next steps on the
$1.75 billion financial package for the railroad. Mr. Ganger urged the City to take a stand
now on All Aboard Florida.
Secondly, Mr. Granger stated the appeal of the Court decision on what a lot
of towns wanted with respect to the Office of Inspector General (OIG) and the real issue is
taxation. Mr. Ganger stated what was proposed and what the voters voted on and voted for
the right reasons to have the office but they voted for the wrong reasons in terms about how
to pay for it.

6.11.9. Jim Knight, 123 East Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated he

6.11.10. Arie Whiteman, 5091 Washington Road, Delray Beach, FL 33484, stated
Te rode with Interim Community Improvement Director Michael Coleman and he and Code
Enforcement are doing a phenomenal job keeping the downtown and beaches clean. In
addition, Mr. Whiteman stated Code Enforcement is doing a great job instructing the
business owners about the six (6) foot sidewalk rule that is going to be implemented and the
business owners are also informing customers. Mr. Whiteman urged the City Manager to
find a few more positions for Code Enforcement throughout the city.
6.11.11. Steve Blum, 115 Venetian Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated the
downtown is filthy with litter such as gum, cigarettes, etc. and nothing is being done to
clean it up.

months and it should open late October this year. Staff requests to allow the applicant to
close the sidewalks and the parallel parking along the streets.

construction of the Cannery Row Delray Beach Phase II and that the developer minimized
the impact on the east side as much as possible.
At this point, a gentleman came forward and stated he was retained by the
developer in July 2013 to continue and finish the building. He stated the approved site plan
displays a five (5) foot setback; from the face of the building to the sidewalk is five (5) feet.

sidewalks. He explained that the west side is closed now (temporary 30 day permit because
their building is up; May 1St they will begin bringing the east side up to a place where it is
no longer safe for pedestrians. He stated their goal is to get the front of the building done in
six (6) months.
Ms. Jarjura stated she feels it is the responsible thing to do and supports
closing the sidewalks to pedestrian access.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated thinking was not proactive enough
because staff has indicated that the reason we have to do this is because of safety issues and
that the road is so nearby, and that there is only a five (5) feet setback. Deputy Vice Mayor
Jacquet stated supports this; however, going forward he feels there are setbacks for a reason.
Discussion between Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet and Mr. Krejcarek ensued

parallel parking will be closed not the streets.

Consider approval of the available options for the Sofa District Lofts mixed use
development to satisfy the workforce housing requirement by providing the units onsite,
providing a monetary contribution, or delivery of offsite units; a combination of these three
options is permissible.
Mark McDonnell, Assistant Director of Planning and Zoning, stated this item
is to clarify the Board Order that was approved for the conditional use for the Sofa District
Lofts.
The City Attorney stated this developer now wants the option of not
providing the eight (8) units on site and the reason why eight (8) were on site because at the
time this proposal went before Planning and Zoning because that was what the developer
was intending to do at that time. The City Attorney stated the property owner wants to
retain all three (3) options. The City Attorney commented that there was anything in the
record at the time other than the Board Order that indicated a preference and this is why it is
before the Commission now for clarification.
Brief discussion between Vice Mayor Petrolia and the City Attorney stated if
they select the payment option, the money is put into the Delray Beach Community Land
Trust (DBCLT) and they use that money toward construction of affordable housing.
Mr. Knight stated the applicant indicated that they were going to follow
through with the workforce housing requirement and that is why the board order read that it
had all three (3) options.
Brief discussion between Mr. Knight and the City Commission continued.
The City Attorney stated the action that is being requested of the City
Commission tonight is to approve any of those three (3) options or some combination.
Joe White, owner of the property, stated he appeared before the Commission
along with Richard Jones who made the presentation. Mr. White stated in the drawings that
were submitted with the plan Mr. Jones displayed all the workforce units on one floor in one
corner just clustered together and in City staff s representation was that the workforce
requirements would be complied with.
13
04/06/15
Mayor Glickstein stated staff would have been remiss in allowing the
clustering of workforce housing. Mayor Glickstein stated he supports approving this subject
to staff s determination that in the Commissions deliberation the context of this statement
that it was to explain that it can't be clustering not that the applicant is going to put
workforce housing in as a condition of approval.
Mayor Glickstein commented about whether or not there was some kind of
representation made in connection with the conditional use approval and stated the
Commission should have the explanation in the Agenda backup.
Ms. Jarjura moved to approve given what is stated in the City Code and that
the applicant would have had this option, subject to the City Attorney's review of this record
that there was no representation made and there was no Commission approval based on that
representation, seconded by Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet — Yes; Mr. Katz — Yes; Ms. Jarjura — Yes;

the Commission. Mr. Krej carek stated Tramonti Restaurant is requesting to expand hours of
its valet queue operation to daytime use starting at 10:00 a.m. Sundays -Fridays and 8:00
a.m. on Saturdays. The current cost per on -street space is $133.56 and going to daytime
staff would adjust the cost to be similar to Caf6 Lune Rosa which the only other daytime
valet service which is $141.95 per space.
Commissioner Katz stated he is not in favor of doing anything with parking
until a comprehensive parking review is looked into.
Ms. Jarjura stated this valet parking agreement impacts three (3) public
spaces and suggested that it be looked at as a whole as part of a comprehensive parking
program,; she is happy to see that the cost is bumped up to make it the same price as Caf6
Luna Rosa and she feels the Finance Department raises two (2) good points: (1) the City
increased the hours of operation 80%, however, the rate was only raised 25%; and (2) the
general comment about all valet license prices which she feels should be part of a
comprehensive parking agreement and she does not support this right now.
Vice Mayor Petrolia stated she does not support at this time.
Mr. Krejearek stated a little over a little ago there was extensive discussion
about the pricing of all the valets once staff does a comprehensive management program

9_L. PARTICIPATION IN APPEAL OF CIRCUIT COURT DECISION
TOWN OF GULFSTREAM, ET.AL V. PALM BEACH COUNTY — OFFICE OF
THE INSPECTOR GENERAL (OIG) FUNDING LITIGATION: Provide direction on
whether or not to participate in an appeal of Circuit Court decision of the Town Gulfstream,
et al v. Palm Beach County — Office of the Inspector General (OIG) Funding Litigation.
The City Attorney stated he is seeking direction to the recent ruling of the
Inspector General (OIG) lawsuit. In November 2011, fifteen (15) cities including Delray
Beach filed a lawsuit over the referendum language "funding by governmental entities." The
City Attorney stated the referendum language did not infringe on the budgetary power of
cities. The City now has the opportunity to consider whether or not this City Commission
desires to participate as this matter continues to be litigated. The City Attorney stated the
City of Palm Beach intends and several other cities intend on continuing to pursue their
appellant remedies to conclusion; any ruling by the court would likely be binding on all
thirty-eight (38) cities so the City of Delray Beach does not need to be party to get the
benefit of the ruling. The City Attorney stated the basis for the lawsuit was not only the
language he just read into the record, but also the methodology by which the cities are being
charged. He stated no city has paid since the fee was imposed in 2011; however, had the
City of Delray Beach initially paid in 2011, the City's proportionate share based on the then
formula proposed by the County would have been approximately $150,000 a year. The City
Attorney stated it is largely symbolic as a policy decision whether or not the Commission
would like to continue to oppose the efforts by the County to impose some proportionate fee
16
04/06/15
by the cities. The City Attorney stated the two (2) big issues are: (1) it is a regional service,
(2) the County should pay, and (3) we don't like the metrics you are using to charge us. The
City Attorney stated since the lawsuit is pending, the City is not being billed for the service.
The City Attorney stated the referendum language did not infringe on the budgetary power
of cities.
Brief discussion between Vice Mayor Petrolia and the City Attorney ensued.
The City Attorney explained that in all the required elements this is a very technical legal
lawsuit. The City Attorney stated initially each of the cities made some contribution
towards legal fees; the City of Palm Beach is not asking for anymore contributions and if
Delray Beach falls out there is no consequence because Palm Beach is doing it on their own
now. Mr. Katz stated instead of dropping out from the fifteen (15) municipalities, he sees
this as an opportunity to join the twenty-three (23) that have not opted to be part of this
since there are thirty-eight (38) municipalities in the county. Mr. Katz stated he supports
out of this lawsuit.
Ms. Jarjura stated the perception is that if the City files this lawsuit they
somehow are opposing the OIG's office and she feels that oversimplifies the actual core of
this issue which is Home Rule power both to the state level to the county and the local level.
Ms. Jarjura stated he she was a city that has not utilized the OIG's office as much as Delray
Beach has, she would have a real concern over how the fees were being mandated especially
because some cities are utilizing it more than others. Ms. Jarjura stated she defers to her
colleagues because she is split either way on this and if the majority is to drop out of this,
then she is okay with that as well.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet commented about the matrix and who pays and
the matrix of what Delray Beach pays is important. Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated the
Delray Beach needs to protect its residents and we need to make sure that neighboring cities
are not paying less than we are but getting more service. Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated
he supports Delray Beach to participate in the appeal just on principle.
Mayor Glickstein stated he read the order and feels it is well written. Mayor
Glickstein stated the OIG has been a big part of assisting the City of Delray Beach with
focusing on Best Practices. Mayor Glickstein concurs with the City Attorney that whether
the City of Delray Beach participates or not, there is no monetary difference; it is whatever
the court decides. Mayor Glickstein stated he would like to see Delray Beach extricate them
from this as soon as possible.
Mr. Katz moved to approve to direct the City Attorney to file a Notice of
Withdrawal for pending action, seconded by Vice Mayor Petrolia. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Vice Mayor Petrolia — Yes; Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet —
Yes; Mr. Katz — Yes; Ms. Jarjura — Yes; Mayor Glickstein — Yes. Said motion passed with
a 5 to 0 vote.

9.M. AMENDMENT TO A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND CONSENT
ORDER/CARON FOUNDATION OF FLORIDA, INC.: Motion to approve amending
the Settlement Agreement and Consent Order with Caron Foundation of Florida, Inc. to
require Caron to pay an annual sum equal to the amount of public school board taxes in lieu
of providing in-kind services, specifically, substance abuse training and education.
The City Attorney presented this item to the Commission and explained the
amendment to the Settlement Agreement and Consent Order with Caron Foundation of
Florida, Inc.
The City Manager stated if the Commission approves this, the money will be
used for educational programs.
Ms. Jarjura asked who was monitoring compliance with the settlement
agreement, was there any reporting done and was there any reporting done to show what the
in-kind services were and whether or not they were complying with that provision as well as
the other provisions of the settlement agreement. Ms. Jarjura stated someone needs to be
monitoring performance on those agreements, compliance to those agreements, and whether
or not there have been any deviations from the material terms of those contracts.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet confirmed that the list of educational programs
is not exhausted.
Brief discussion between Mayor Glickstein and the City Attorney ensued
regarding the tax exempt status.
Michael Weiner, Attorney representing the Caron Foundation of Florida,
Inc., stated there was some reorganization of it but it is actually split into two (2) 501(c)(3).
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated the Delray Beach Sports Exhibitors is a
large organization in town and he requested that this organization be added to the list as
well.
Mayor Glickstein suggested to the City Manager to contact the Drug Abuse
Foundation in Delray if he is trying to match the dollars to what the Caron Foundation was
doing in terms of in-kind services if the City is trying to use those dollars for educational
purposes.
Vice Mayor Petrolia moved to approve the Amendment to a Settlement
Agreement and Consent Order with Caron Foundation of Florida, Inc., seconded by Deputy
Vice Mayor Jacquet. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Deputy Vice Mayor
Jacquet — Yes; Mr. Katz — Yes; Ms. Jarjura — Yes; Mayor Glickstein — Yes; Vice Mayor
Petrolia — Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.

Ms. Jarjura inquired as to what the purpose is of the Police Advisory Board
;' WI
Chevelle Nubin, City Clerk, stated the purpose of the Police Advisory Board
(PAB) was initially formed was so that the community could bring any type of issues to that
particular board who could rely that information to the City Commission in hopes of forging
a relationship so that any type of public safety issues or nuisances in the community could
be discussed. In addition Ms. Nubin stated at the time the board was originally formed
some of the board members went on ride -a -longs with different Police Officers.
Ms. Jarjura stated she emailed the City Clerk an example of how the City of
Fort Lauderdale does this on their website (i.e. a list of every advisory board, the purpose,
the term, every member, who was appointed by, and their contact information). Ms. Jarjura
stated this is made readily available to residents so they can monitor what terms are coming
up and on the same page, it has the minutes of every board, the agendas of every board,
applications, and upcoming postings. Ms. Jarjura suggested to the Police Chief that since
this is a new Commission to a ride -along so that they can see what is going in different
pockets of the neighborhood because she feels it would be beneficial. The City Clerk stated
she received the information from Ms. Jarjura via email from the City of Fort Lauderdale's
webpage and the City is working on consolidating that information and placing it on the
City's website.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated the Police Advisory Board (PAB) is going
to be people from different parts of town who are going to meet and talk about public safety
issues and bring it directly to the Police; however, he does not believe that has been
happening because the Police Chief said during the summers a lot of people are not here and
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet suggested adding people to the board who are here.
19
04/06/15
Mr. Katz stated he would like to defer his appointment and asked that the
City Manager meet with the Police Chief and make recommendations to the Commission.
The City Manager stated he can do this; however, he reminded the Commission that this is a
Commission advisory board.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated he would like to see this board meeting
somewhere other than in City Hall and that ride -a -longs be required.
Ms. Jarjura stated she would like to defer her appointment and she agrees
with the purpose of this board and directed the City Manager to speak with the Police Chief
and figure out ways to accomplish that purpose and noted some of the applicants are on
other boards and are people applying and then they would have to resign from another
board. Ms. Jarjura stated she would like to see these changes done before the July/August
appointment terms expire.
Vice Mayor Petrolia moved to defer any appointments to the Police Advisory
Board (PAB), seconded by Mr. Katz. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms.

City Commission
12.C.1.
Mr. Katz
Mr. Katz commented about the Police and Fire Pension Board and stated
information he received from the CFO as well as the Chair of the Board that they do not
operate on a budget. Mr. Katz stated he is appalled that any board that spends this type of
money (last year $713,364.00 without a budget which was an increase from $556,329.00
then how do they know where they are trending for their budget unless they actually have a
20
04/06/15
budget. In addition, Mr. Katz stated the General Employees' Pension Board does not have a
budget either; however, they should still have a budget. Mr. Katz suggested that the City
should require both boards to have a budget.
Secondly, Mr. Katz stated 6`" Avenue (Federal Highway) is being closed for
Atlantic Crossing to install underground utilities. He stated this Friday the Delray Affair
will be held which is the largest event of the year where the City has to have road closings.
Mr. Katz asked if the City issued the permit to close the road. The City Manager stated City
issued on Delray jurisdiction permits but FDOT would have to authorize for Federal
Highway. Mr. Katz stated it needs to be taken into consideration what else is going on in
the city at the time we are issuing permits and communication within the city.
With respect to All Aboard Florida, Mr. Katz stated he requested from "Not
All Aboard Florida" some of the resolutions that have been passed by other counties.
Lastly, Mr. Katz asked what the process is to get an item placed on the
Agenda. The City Manager stated he will coordinate this with the Mayor.
12.C.2. Ms. Jarjura
Ms. Jarjura stated going into the budget season she would like to see the City
Manager analyze and rebuild his recommendations for rebuilding the city.
Secondly, Ms. Jarjura stated with respect to the City's infrastructure and feels
there should be a citywide plan so that at least on city jobs we are setting the standard and
example for private development to follow.
Ms. Jarjura stated the Local Small Business Preference Program is scheduled
for the Agenda of April 21, 2015.
With respect to a follow on the Beach Erosion Workshop the City
Commission had a few months ago, Ms. Jarjura stated the Commission agreed that beach
erosion maintenance is a small upkeep cost but long-term huge benefit and something that
they would like to prioritize along with the Beach Master Plan. Ms. Jarjura asked for an
update.
With regard to sidewalk cafes, Ms. Jarjura stated the Commission received
an email with an attachment listing the different restaurants that are going to be impacted
and stated it seems that every restaurant is going to be impacted by the zoning changes. She
stated it would be helpful for her to see actual site plans of where exactly the City would be
impacting the outdoor dining rather than just a list of restaurants (i.e. is it taking away three
(3) tables from a restaurant or is it taking away all of its tables). She stated the attachment
to the Agenda item was not clear enough for her to understand how much might be
impacting the downtown core and the businesses.
With regard to the City's events, Ms. Jarjura stated the Commission
discussed that in addition of the number of events in the city some of the events are not
21
04/06/15
paying to cover the cost of their services much less their impact onto the community from a
safety and maintenance perspective, etc. She stated as the City leads into the next calendar
year it would be important to the city so that the companies who put on these events could
have some notice for the City to have those procedures and policies in place and the
application process so that coming into the following year they could plan their own budgets
and calendars as well. The City Manager stated staff will presenting that to the City
Commission in June and dune maintenance will be incorporated into the fiscal budget 2016.
Lastly, Ms. Jarjura inquired about an RFP for none -motorized water activities
such as paddle boarding, kayaking and whether or not it is feasible and what locations
would staff recommend to put those in.along the Intracoastal in the city.
12.C.3. Vice Mayor Petrolia
Vice Mayor Petrolia stated with respect to the Trolley Workshop, they agreed
to be funded at $75,000 non-matching funds from July 15 through June 16, 2015 through
the South Regional Authority. She stated now is the time to discuss this for 2016 as to
whether or not this is the vehicle of transportation that we want to continue in this city.
Vice Mayor Petrolia stated she would like to discuss and see if there are good suggestions as
to maybe alternatives or if this is the best that we have gotten what we want to keep.
Secondly, Vice Mayor Petrolia stated today she spent time at St. Paul's
Episcopal Church at the Children's Community Garden which is coming along and is an
effort by a non-profit organization. She stated they are looking for financial help if anybody
has any ways of being able to reach out. Vice Mayor Petrolia stated it is going to be
something that is unique to the community and they have a thatched tiki roof for lectures,
and for listening and learning. She stated if anyone is interested in being a potential sponsor
Shelly Zacks is the contact person.
Vice Mayor Petrolia commented about the Styrofoam ban and stated she
would like to know the thoughts of the Commission maybe starting off with the City
banning and then moving out so that we can set the example for everybody else. She stated
Styrofoam is a material that does not degrade and requested that the City start working on
this. Vice Mayor Petrolia stated Miami has already started it and Sunrise has done an
abbreviated form to start it out. She stated she would like to see the restaurants change over
because it is the right thing to do and if Delray Beach starts out doing ourselves it might
leach out that way.
With respect to the Barwick Road issue, Vice Mayor Petrolia stated the price
went from $50,000.00 to $75,000.00 and the guard rail is much larger and longer than the
Commission had originally anticipated. She stated people have been asking for this for ten
(10) years and is this is what the city could get now. Vice Mayor Petrolia stated it is the
children's safety that the City Commission is concerned about and suggested that cuts be
made into the guard rails where it is necessary so that pedestrians have access; however, she
feels it should have been foreseeable.
22
04/06/15
Mr. Katz stated he walked Barwick road with the City Managers two
predecessors and himself and feels the City Commission should not have to "babysit" every
step of every process. Mr. Katz stated the guard rails were supposed to go from the corner
of the Fire Station to where the curb begins (about 50 feet past the Sabal Lakes sign) and
expressed concern that staff did not know exactly where the curb was supposed to go to.
Mr. Katz stated he watched the video and Ms. Jarjura had a question about the cost of the
curbing because she thought the City could maybe actually afford to do curbing because she
did not feel it was priced correctly. He commented about the cut-outs for pedestrians and
stated people have to have access to the canal. Mr. Katz expressed concern that the City is
now going to have to pay to have that part of the guardrail removed so that the South Florida
Water Management District (SFWMD) has access to that canal. Mr. Katz stated the City
Commission should not have to micro -manage every project and noted that this was a small
project.
Vice Mayor Petrolia stated this was a temporary measure to be able to
provide some safety for the children especially latchkey kids that are walking home by
themselves. Vice Mayor Petrolia expressed her disappointment that this project did not get
done as the City Commission had hoped for and there is waste.
Vice Mayor Petrolia stated she would like to know when and how the
garbage cart fee is going to be taken care of.
Vice Mayor Petrolia stated she was informed that there is a very recent State
law that has changed with respect to how the public can speak on items on the Agenda
inclusive of removing items from the Consent Agenda and putting them on the Regular
Agenda. Vice Mayor Petrolia stated the change would allow the public to speak on every
item and she suggested that this be placed on the Workshop meeting for discussion.
The City Manager stated he has seen some of the Florida League of Cities
and the issue has been that you have to require an opportunity to speak at the meeting which
we do and he believes the City is in compliance.
The City Attorney stated the Anti -Shushing Law was enacted in 2012 which
is the most recent law which requires everyone to have an opportunity to speak on any
matter on which there is going to be official action. The City Manager stated there were
some modifications last session. Vice Mayor Petrolia reiterated that the modifications were
done and is something that makes it so much broader then she would like to discuss this at a
Workshop meeting.
Lastly, Vice Mayor Petrolia expressed her condolences to Mayor Glickstein

12.C.5. Mavor Glickstein
Mayor Glickstein stated the Styrofoam issue is something the Commission
discussed because they saw what they had been done in Miami. Mayor Glickstein stated he
talked to John Morgan about it and asked him to speak to the City Commission because
different Solid Waste Authorities have different ways of treating the Styrofoam and Mr.
Morgan informed him that the City actually makes money from the way they burn the
Styrofoam. Mayor Glickstein stated it is a good branding policy for the City; however, he
would like to hear more input from Mr. Morgan.
Secondly, with respect to the sidewalk caf6s, Mayor Glickstein stated it has
been brought to his attention that the restaurants in Pineapple Grove will not be able to
comply with this and they have shown him why. Mayor Glickstein suggested that the
Commission consider revisiting the sidewalk caf6 issue in the sense that the pedestrian
traffic in Pineapple Grove is different than the pedestrian traffic on Atlantic Avenue in
particular the restaurants on tad Avenue and Atlantic Avenue. He stated there is a new
restaurant that opened up with tables that are in complete conflict with the new LDRs that
were just passed. With respect to Deputy Vice Mayor's comments about the attachment of
restaurants provided by staff that is going to be impacted by the new LDRs, Mayor
Glickstein stated the attachment is just a list of restaurants but he would like to know if the
City would be putting somebody out of business or do they mean one (1) table. Mayor
Glickstein stated he does not feel the Commission needs the minutes to meetings because of
the delay, but if the Commission does not have the minutes or the backup then staff should
be present until that Agenda item is called so that the Commission has the requisite
expertise to answer that question. Mayor Glickstein stated he understands there is a delay in
preparing minutes; however, it would be nice to have that complete package. Mayor
Glickstein reiterated that staff should be present and the Commission should not be in limbo
on a decision because they are lacking expertise for context. The City Manager stated given
the complexity of the LDRs and the broad scope, the City is going to run into these issues
and staff has to just correct them.
Mayor Glickstein stated with respect to All Aboard Florida the Commission
is going to have to make a decision whether or not it wants to put forth a resolution
comparing Palm Beach, Broward, and Dade County to Indian River County is comparing
Iowa to California. He stated there is not a city in Broward, Dade, or Palm Beach County
that has proffered a resolution against All Aboard Florida with the exception of Fort
Lauderdale. Mayor Glickstein stated Delray Beach is unique and affected more by the
number of crossings than other cities.
Mayor Glickstein asked if the City Commission would like to see a
resolution regarding All Aboard Florida.

Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated he does not wish to move forward with a
resolution.
Vice Mayor Petrolia and Commissioner Katz stated they would like to move
forward with a resolution to not support All Aboard Florida. Mayor Glickstein stated he
does not support All Aboard Florida and the reasons we are distinct from some of those
northern counties is he would like the City's support to be conditioned on assurances that
we are going to get commuter rail. Mayor Glickstein stated if the State is spending tax
dollars on All Aboard Florida related improvements then the State can perhaps weigh in on
that because the City is going to need State support to get that commuter rail.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated if the Commission wants to move forward
that the resolution be tailored specifically for Delray Beach.
Mayor Glickstein stated that in the resolution the City Attorney will have to
address safety, cost and assurances that Delray Beach is getting something other than more
freight and a high-speed train.
