5.11. From the Public.
5.11.1. Price Patton, 1020 Tamarind Road, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated he
and his wife own a home at 73 Palm Square which they are renovating and trying to keep
in style of the historic neighborhood.
Secondly, Mr. Patton stated the City has insisted and have agreed to build
sidewalks on two sides of the lot at the corner of 1st and Palm Square. He requested that
Item 7.C., Acceptance of a Sidewalk Easement Deed for 73 Palm Square be moved to
the Regular Agenda as Item 8.A.A. for discussion. Mr. Patton stated building a sidewalk
in the middle of a historic district should be deferred until a Comprehensive Pedestrian
and Vehicle Plan can be developed as like the plan that is going forward in the Del -Ida
Historic Neighborhood. He stated the remainder of Palm Square there is no sidewalks;
they are occupied by historic houses with tiny yards that are used for parking. Mr. Patton
stated the home is on the south end of Palm Square and he does not see any chances of
the sidewalk being completed on either side to Atlantic Avenue. He stated Atlantic
Crossings has promised traffic calming measures in the historic district although they
have not been defined. Mr. Patton urged the Commission to defer building a sidewalk
until a comprehensive plan can be developed, allow them to have a CO when their house
is done, and let the lawsuit settle with Atlantic Crossing so that the City can develop a
cohesive plan for the entire district not just one corner.
5.11.2. Bob Ganger, 1443 North Ocean Boulevard, Delray Beach, FL 33483
(speaking as the past President of the Delray Beach Historical Society), stated last
week he received a telephone call from the Executive Director of the Historical Society
concerning an unsigned letter dated July 31, 2015 that the Commission received from
someone in the city announcing that a $50,000 application for a benevolent contribution
request was essentially turned down and an amount of $10,000 would be recommended
to the City Commission at the August 18, 2015 budget meeting. Mr. Ganger stated as the
organization tries to budget for the upcoming year is to hire an archivist, but they cannot
hire an archivist if they do not have the money. Mr. Ganger stated the archivist they
would like hire has other options. Mr. Ganger stated in 2007 he was the President of the
Delray Beach Historical Society and he gave a brief history of the move of the Hunt
House from Federal Highway to Swinton Avenue and restore it and build an archival
facility that is hurricane proof. He stated that was done through a tri -party matching
grant agreement with the County that involved his signature, Mayor Ellis, and City
Manager David Harden that pledged that they would operate the facility for as long as
conceivable and that the facility would be used as an educational process to teach the
history of this city. Mr. Ganger stated the City raised $200,000, the County raised
$200,000, and the Delray Beach Historical Society raised $200,000 through the Board
and its members.

08/11/15
5.B.3. Mary Saele, 3977 Satin Leaf Court, Delray Beach, FL 33445 (Sabal
Lakes), appreciates that the Police Department has decided not to route traffic through
the Sabal Lakes development endangering its own residents and children who walk to
school. However, Ms. Saele stated the Sabal Lakes residents' want to make sure that
routing which could be up to 5,000 cars a week through Sabal Lakes never happens
because it is a dangerous situation. She stated if the thirty (30) day test period does not
work out, there needs to be an alternate solution and a long-term solution. She stated the
Sabal Lakes community would like to be part of a permanent solution that will hopefully
be low-cost and efficient. Ms. Saele stated about 75-100 people showed up to the
meeting at Banyan Creek Elementary and the next day Sabal Lakes residents formed a
committee of approximately ten (10) people.
5.B.4. David Smith, 1350 Laurelwood Lane, Delray Beach, FL 33445 (Sabal
Lakes), stated the residents do not want the routing through their neighborhood to ever
be considered again and that the public, residents of Sabal Lakes, the City of Delray
Beach, and the Palm Beach County School Board must work together to treat the
underlying cause of this issue versus short-term efforts to relieve the symptoms. Mr.
Smith stated the underlying cause is the fact that there is an infrastructure that has not
grown with the size of the school, the programs, and the traffic requirements because the
people who are driving to the school now is not the same population that the school was
started with. He encouraged everyone to arrive at solutions to the real problem and not
the symptoms.
5.B.5. William Sowd, Palm Beach County Substance Awareness Coalition,
stated new county and municipal ordinances went into effect that require all vendors of
alcohol to display a visible sign which includes the punishment for underage drinking
under age 21; the sign includes the legal age and the number to call if anyone sees anyone
selling and buying for underage people. Mr. Sowd stated he would like to endorse
having this sign be put up in liquor stores.
5.B.6. Jackie Jones, 402 West Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33483,
stated there is a Palm Beach County ordinance that is supposed to be voted on to enforce
liquor stores to display signs about underage drinking and the penalty and the sign is
provided by the Palm Beach County Substance Awareness Coalition. Ms. Jones invited
everyone to the unity gathering which is a moment for the churches to come together in
unity in Delray for fellowship, a pot -luck, and a remembrance for the shooting in South
Carolina.
The City Attorney stated he is aware of this ordinance and is working on
it. Also, subject to City Commission approval, the City Attorney stated he expects to
present the final draft of this ordinance to the Commission in September.
5.B.7. Hannah George Connell, third generation property owner in
downtown Delray Beach/born and raised on S.E. 4th Avenue, 1 S.E. 4th Avenue,
Delray Beach, FL 33444, stated she is a "F.O.O.L." a Friend Of the Old Library site
because she has heard the many stories from previous generations of piano lessons, table
tennis and community dances that have taken place at what is sometimes known as the
3
08/11/15
old library site.
5.11.8. Ron Nobili, 159 Marine Way, Slip #15, Delray Beach, FL 33483
(member of the discriminated class of residents living within the Marina Historic
District), stated he feels that Ordinance No. 05-15 is flawed and read a brief statement
into the record.
5.11.9. Peter Humanik, 704 N.E. 5th Street, Delray Beach, FL 33483, thanked
Mayor Glickstein for his continued vigilance on fiscal matters and thanked Vice Mayor
Petrolia for leading the effort of the two (2) months of credit/refund with respect to the
water bills. In addition, he thanked Mayor Glickstein for rejecting the 18 -person party
Pedi-cycle. Mr. Humanik stated we need to be more pedestrian friendly; however, he
feels the term is inconsistent with Atlantic Avenue as it is growing. He stated if the City
is planning to put bike racks and bus shelters on Atlantic Avenue to rethink this because
he feels that Atlantic Avenue is for pedestrians. Mr. Humanik stated historic preservation
should be expanded for certain properties to include the actual site.

11. COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS.
ILA. City Manager
11.A.1. Downtown Development Authority (DDA) Survey Results
14
08/11/15
The City Manager stated he has provided the Commission the results of
the property owners' survey.
II.A.2. Outstanding Issues
Secondly, the City Manager stated he has indicated outstanding issues that
have been completed or progress that has been made. The City Manager stated staff has
issued a contract on the exotic removal of the beach and he believes the transition of
SWS and Mr. Coleman's staff has done an outstanding job.
The City Manager stated staff has begun implementing some of the items
in the Parking Plan Element.
The City Manager stated he hired Tennille Decoste as the new Human
Resources Director and the City is planning on having a Traffic Engineer on board and
are commencing the hiring process for that position.
The City Manager stated today the City received the Lake Ida transfer of
monies and the City will be closing on that.
11.A.3. Interim Report -Conflict of Interest Investigation
The City Manager stated over 23 employees was interviewed on this issue
and there will be some additional employees. He stated in this particular report it
addresses issues (not located in the Environmental Services Department) where the
original complaint occurred. The City Manager stated what has been found is there was a
systemic not following the requirements and a level of not understanding. As a result
three (3) department heads have received a one day suspension and the other employees
who were in violation of the Statutes, the Code of Ethics, or the City's ordinance received
a written warning with the understanding that this was not something that was done on a
malicious basis, but it was a past practice that had developed that should not have. The
City Manager stated he does not know what the State Attorney is going to do and where
they are going to pursue it. The City Manager stated he needs to complete the issues as it
applies to the administrative procedures. He stated some employees feel this is not fair
and will avail themselves through the grievance process. The City Manager stated staff is
trying to address this on a system wide basis in every department to make sure that
employees understand there are certain requirements that have to be met.
11.B. City Attorney
The City Attorney stated there have been a series of bargaining sessions
with the firefighters (I.A.F.F.) and there has not been meaningful progress. The City
Attorney stated there is another bargaining session set for the end of this
month/beginning of September. The City Attorney suggested that the City Commission
have a brief Executive Session (approximately 30 minutes) regarding the labor
negotiations to reiterate what the City's position was, what the counter firefighters' has
15
08/11/15
been, and what direction the City Commission might wish to provide. The City
Commission discussed possibly having this meeting on Thursday, September 3, 2015
prior to the regular meeting.
11.C. City Commission
11.C.1. Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated he had an opportunity to visit the Sister
City of Aquin and met with Mayor Alindor Vilner and they recently had a turnover where
one of the other Mayors resigned to run for Deputy which is the legislative branch in the
country and they just swore in two new Mayoral members; the board consists of three
Mayoral members. Mr. Jacquet stated Mayor Alindor Vilner is the longest serving and
this past Sunday they had elections for their legislature and there will be an election in
October for their Mayors and City Officials. In addition, Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet
stated he also got to see some judicial members (i.e. judges and business owners in town),
and had conversations with people who do art near the beach. Deputy Vice Mayor
Jacquet stated his parents are still in Haiti and Mayor Alindor Vilner is sending pictures
and information on their students, arts programs, and the beach that he would love to
share with our City once it arrives.
Secondly, Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated he attended a back -to -school
event which originally started in the Haitian -American community by Madame Gary and
Albert Jerome in 2012 on Toussaint L'Ouverture Way. Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet
stated every year it is better and bigger. He stated this year the event was held at Merritt
Park. Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet suggested that the Commission brainstorm in how
they can brand this section of town and protect the cultural richness.
11.C.2. Vice Mayor Petrolia
Vice Mayor Petrolia stated apparently the City is not renewing lobbyist
contracts and as a result they are lobbying the Commission. Vice Mayor Petrolia stated
she now understands the importance of lobbyists and suggested to open this up for
discussion because what we are potentially missing is significant. Vice Mayor Petrolia
stated the legislative session starts earlier so something has to be done now that the City
will lose this coming year's lobbying potential.
Secondly, Vice Mayor Petrolia stated at the last meeting Commissioner
Jarjura commented about the workforce housing funds and made a recommendation for
someone to work with the City to install some language and what we could be doing with
those funds as workforce housing funds are given to the City because they are not
actually building them. Vice Mayor Petrolia stated it was something that the entire
Commission agreed with and it was a late night decision and the next morning she was
second guessing her decision. Vice Mayor Petrolia inquired about what the Commission
is allowed to do or what the rules are when it comes to creating an Ad Hoc Committee.
Vice Mayor Petrolia stated this is going to be a committee or a board that is going to
come to the Commission and make recommendations with respect to policy. Vice Mayor
16
08/11/15
Petrolia asked the City Attorney to provide an answer to the following question: "Please
provide the section of the City's Code that allows for a Commission to appoint a single
person head of a committee and their ability to personally select their own committee for
the purposes of making recommendations or suggestions making public policy." Vice
Mayor Petrolia expressed concern because now what has been established is a committee
of one person leading it selecting their own committee of members to determine for
recommendations of public policy.
Commissioner Jarjura stated during City Commission comments Mayor
Glickstein brought up creating a working group task force and recommended former
Mayor Jeff Perlman to lead. Commissioner Jarjura stated the City Commission
comments are usually late at night and this is when the Commission brings up issues that
they wish to discuss. She stated she is not sure why the distinction or the difference
between Mayor Glickstein bringing up the Congress Avenue Task Force with former
Mayor Perlman heading it up. Commissioner Jarjura stated she had spoken to the City
Manager during one of their meetings and they discussed not just the funding but a lot of
the workforce issue questions that had come up. She stated there are sections of the
City's Code where sometimes it is referred to as "affordable housing" and other places
where it is referred to "workforce housing" and the City Manager stated that we have a
lot of those types of issues and we do not have the capacity with staff at a staffing level to
address all of them. For example, he is having Jim Chard look at tree certification and he
has been working on the Community Gardens ordinance at City staff level for over a
year. Commissioner Jarjura stated she explained that she did state a working group
because they would not be reporting to the City Commission but the working group
would be reporting to the City Manager. The City Manager will take those
recommendations and vet it through staff and the City Attorney's office and then the
Planning Director will make recommendations to the City Commission on what to amend
in the Code and then the City Commission would vote on it. For clarification,
Commission Jarjura stated this is not a board reporting to the City Commission but it is a
working group reporting to the City Manager.
Vice Mayor Petrolia stated if the Commission is going to be making that
recommendation she feels they should allow for themselves some time to think about it
and have a question and answer time period versus just having to make that decision that
night. She stated the Commission is going down a path that she is not so sure she feels
comfortable with without having legal advising the Commission that this is fine and that
the Commission can do this at any time.
Mayor Glickstein stated this actually started prior to the Congress Avenue
issue with Human Powered Delray (HPD) and he recommended that they stay away from
this City Commission and as much as possible and if they can grow their board without
any medaling at this level then that is great. Mayor Glickstein stated what happen in a lot
of these things is they either succeeds tremendously or they wither because you have the
difference between the workhorses and the show horses. For clarification, Mayor
Glickstein stated he was not asking for approval of the Commission; he had asked former
Mayor Jeff Perlman who had a lot of experience with this particular issue to go out there
and get something going. Mayor Glickstein encouraged the Commission that if they
17
08/11/15
recognize some discrepancy and if there is somebody that can lend their expertise to that
voluntarily, he feels this is okay. However, Mayor Glickstein stated he does not feel a
consensus of the City Commission is necessary.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated Human Powered Delray (HPD) is
organic and they started within themselves and they showed up at every meeting where
the Commission had an issue that could potentially affect what their cause is and they
spoke in favor or against; and, they advocated. Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated is this
appropriate whereas they are bringing back former elected officials solely for a particular
purpose that they choose, or is this individual already working on the issue and then a
Commissioner asks them to take the lead. In the future, Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet
stated if in the future a board is reporting to the Commission directly or indirectly, he
believes some of the things that have been done in the past may be cautionary. He stated
when the Commission has a particular individual they feel is competent enough and
skilled enough to take the lead, but we also have other people suggested that each
Commissioner can suggest 2 or 3 individuals and select the person that is most ready to
lead that organization.
Mayor Glickstein stated he would encourage any Commissioner that has
particular expertise on something that the Commission cannot address, to leverage the
resources they have. Mayor Glickstein stated the criteria for the right person is
somebody who can work well with others and they will attract other people that also want
to work and are interested. He stated it does nobody on the dais any good to appoint
somebody for any other reason than
they feel they are going to do a great job. Mayor Glickstein stated he does not feel the
Commission should interject their own subjective opinions to somebody else's interest
knowledge.
11.C.3. Commissioner Jariura
Commissioner Jarjura commended and thanked the Police force on the
National Night Out on August 4th and it was a phenomenal turnout. She stated the kids
really enjoyed the event and noted the back -to -school gear was great.
11.C.4. Commissioner Katz
Commissioner Katz thanked Chief Goldman, the Police staff, Jennifer
Costello, and the City Manager's staff that worked so well together to put on this event.
Commissioner Katz stated his children thoroughly enjoyed the event and it was a great
night.
Secondly, Commissioner Katz stated the Commission was elected to do
what they can in the best interest of the citizens and taxpayers of the city. Commissioner
Katz stated he met with a citizen who felt that the Commission did not do that and he
waited for an answer from the City Attorney based on questions that Mayor Glickstein
brought forward. Commissioner Katz stated the City Attorney had the opportunity when
he returned to address it correctly and inform the Commission that they were misadvised.
18
08/11/15
Commissioner Katz stated he does not have confidence in the City Attorney after this
issue.
Commissioner Jarjura stated if Commissioner Katz wanted to bring a
motion to terminate the City Attorney then that should have been an item on the Agenda
so that the entire City Commission is properly prepared to make their position. She
stated this should not have been brought up during a sidewalk in -lieu waiver deferral
item.
Commissioner Katz stated the sidewalk in -lieu waiver deferral item was
not done correctly and it is now on the Agenda again. Commissioner Katz requested that
an item to terminate the City Attorney be placed on the next Agenda.
11.C.5. Mayor Glickstein
Mayor Glickstein stated the Swinton Community Garden across from Old
School Square looks awful and asked that staff look into this.
Secondly, with respect to Vice Mayor Petrolia's comments regarding the
lobbyist, Mayor Glickstein stated that is something appropriate to discuss the City got out
of that because the lobbyist were not doing anything. Therefore, Mayor Glickstein stated
the City hired a Federal and State lobbyist for a very specific scope of work. The City
Manager stated he would issue an RFP for general lobbyist service with a broad
description so that the City can use them for special bills or items of general interest.
Also, the City Manager stated the City needs to make sure that they have a relationship
with the leadership of the legislature (State lobbyist). It was the consensus of the
Commission to consider a State Lobbying general purposes RFP (Request for Proposal).
The Commission briefly discussed the time issue. The City Manager stated he will direct
the Purchasing staff to draft an RFP and the Commission as a board can make comments
on it.
Mayor Glickstein congratulated Michael Coleman and staff for the SWS
transition. Mayor Glickstein stated he received two emails with complaint and neither
had to do with service; it was related to a couple association billing questions which were
handled very quickly.
Mayor Glickstein commented about the AGAR refund ($1.6 million) that
went back to 15,000 residents.
Mayor Glickstein commented that the City Manager filled the IT, HR, and
Traffic Engineer position. The City Manager stated the interview process start at the end
of the month for an Assistant City Manager and that person will hopefully be on board by
September.
Mayor Glickstein stated the Commission is receiving numerous
complaints about the Building Department but he understands that staff is inundated with
work. Mayor Glickstein stated many cities have a Resident Inspector Program which
19
08/11/15
takes a lot of pressure off the building departments because they are third party
inspectors. He stated this may be a Segway into a more profitable expedited permitting
system.
Mayor Glickstein congratulated Ocean Rescue Division Chief Phil Wotten
and Lifeguard Bryce Clough first place winners in the USLA Lifeguard Association
rowing series.
Mayor Glickstein stated he asked staff for a critical path milestone on
finishing Federal Highway and most of the paving will be done by the end of September.
Mayor Glickstein stated he gets inundated with questions about when the Federal
Highway project is going to be complete and requested that the PIO issue a press release
(as simplistic as possible) about what is going to be paved when.
Mayor Glickstein stated there is a need for a traffic signal at Swinton
Avenue and 1st. The City Manager stated staff issued a purchase order for a temporary
signal today.
Mayor Glickstein stated Commissioner Katz's comments were a personal
attack on the City Attorney and he emphasized that is not the way the City Commission
conducts business from the dais. Mayor Glickstein stated he has no problem at all with a
Commissioner questioning whether something was done right. Mayor Glickstein stated
the Commission clearly knows this was a mistake and there were assumptions made and
those assumptions were wrong. However, Mayor Glickstein stated while Commissioner
Katz can give his opinion, he does feel that a Commissioner should ambush City staff in
the manner that he did. Mayor Glickstein stated it is decorum, respect, and a certain way
things are done. Mayor Glickstein stated the Commission had a review two months ago
and he does not support bringing back as an Agenda item to terminate the City Attorney.
Brief discussion by the Commission ensued. The majority of the
Commission decided to not support bringing back an Agenda item to terminate the City
Attorney.
There being no further business, Mayor Glickstein declared the meeting
adjourned at 10:45 p.m.
