2
07/14/15
forth some proposed regulations and policies that can be examined by the City for
implementation. The City Manager stated given the staff's time and ability on this
particular issue, he feels it would be more appropriate for Mr. Chard to provide the City
to begin to work off of. The City Manager stated Mr. Chard has indicated he will do so.
5.B. From the Public.
5.B.1. Michael Young, 1807 Spanish Trail, Delray Beach, FL (Tropic Isle
behind the new Delray Place Shopping Center), stated last week they were invited to a
preliminary meeting and presentation by the developer who also owns the Tropic Bay
Plaza (where Dunkin Donuts is located). Mr. Young stated the developer is proposing to
change the South entrance off of Eve Street to come through Tropic Bay Plaza so that
they can have traffic go North and South from the entrance at Tropic Boulevard. He
stated a lot of the negotiations they had originally with Delray Place is that they wanted
all the traffic to stay at Linton Boulevard as far away from the Tropic Isle community as
possible and not be intrusive into their lifestyle. However, Mr. Young stated this
proposal would bring it right into their living rooms.
Mayor Glickstein assured Mr. Young the he will very much have a voice
and noted that categorically the way that project was presented to himself as part of this
Commission, that in no uncertain terms would that shopping center (Tropic Bay Plaza) or
that entrance (at Tropic Boulevard) ever be part of the shopping center.
5.B.2. Jule Guaglardi, Roxy and Lulu, 119 N.E. 2nd Avenue, Delray Beach,
FL 33444, stressed the value of the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) to the
downtown merchants. Ms. Guaglardi stated she is going to build a 30 foot pergola for the
Miami Convention Center for a trade show because she has been in business for six (6)
years she has now been able to go from being a retailer to a designer and is now
wholesaling internationally as a result of the DDA's help.
5.B.3. Stephanie Granniero, owner of Oh My Bod, 1128 East Atlantic
Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33483 (12 years), concurs with comments expressed by the
previous speaker and stated the DDA has helped her grow her business and she has
opened a second store at the Delray Marketplace.
5.B.3. Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, Delray Beach, FL 33445, expressed
concern over the volume of the music emitted from the amphitheater at Old School
Square and stated it is too loud. Ms. Finst urged the City to get the volume turned down
to a reasonable and non-invasive volume for the following reasons: (1) it is so loud and
heavy on the bass that it blocks the words that the performers are singing, (2) the volume
is so high that it is so loud that it is limiting the outdoor seating at the restaurants on
Atlantic Avenue which creates an unhappy financial situation for restaurant owners when
guests go elsewhere because of the loud noise coming from the amphitheater they do not
want to sit outside. She stated it was especially difficult this weekend because there were
two (2) musical events both on Friday and Saturday night. Mrs. Finst urged the City to
look into this issue.
07/14/15
5.B.5. Adam Shuman, 116 N.E. 6th Street, Delray Beach, FL 33444 (business
owner), stated the rent on the side streets is now the same as Atlantic Avenue and he has
been pushed out of his location because the rent has tripled. Mr. Shuman thanked the
DDA for finding him another place to go and they are the #3 eco -friendly green hair
salon in the world.
5.B.6. Gary Eliopoulos, 205 George Bush Boulevard, Delray Beach, FL
33444, stated at the last Commission meeting he discussed the new ordinance with
respect to the move of a historic house and he has been working with staff on some of the
things that can be improved. Mr. Eliopoulos stated part of his presentation was about
bringing historic houses into the districts that are not protected. He stated he understands
that the ordinance the city is working on is meant to prohibit people from moving houses
or make it extremely difficult to do. However, Mr. Eliopoulos stated he feels that is
wrong and when someone wants to relocate a historic home the mission is to save these
historic houses too. He urged the City to promote saving historic houses in Delray Beach
and that the Commission work on incentives to inform people that if you have a house
that is not in the historic district, to place it on the local register.
5.B.7. Pauline Moody, 609 S.W. 8th Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444,
commented on the Congress Avenue Task Force and stated the City needs a Task Force
for the sober home issue.
Secondly, Ms. Moody urged the Commission to work on the budget.
5.B.8. Tim Schwab, represents JES Publishing Delray Magazine, stated he
manages the business side of the Delray Beach Magazine and the Boca Magazine,
stated he has worked very closely with the DDA and they partner on the Savor the
Avenue event. Mr. Schwab stated and they get calls from all over the country from
people that would like to model it because it is phenomenal done. Mr. Schwab stated
they are especially pleased in which DDA works with the local merchants and urged the
City to keep the DDA.
5.B.9. Mary Ann Brown, Hairdresser in the downtown, supports the DDA
and stated the DDA gives her the opportunity to be involved in many events in particular
the Fashion Week. Ms. Brown stated the DDA does other things as well for her business
on a monthly basis (the promotional website, safety issues, and transportation abilities for
the guests to be able to get to places around the city). She stated the
promotional/marketing part of the DDA has helped her business and many other salons in
the downtown area.
5.B.10. Glavidia Alexis, salon owner and fashion designer, 200 N.E. 2nd
Avenue Ste. #112, Delray Beach, FL 33483, the grand opening of her salon was
November 2014 and she had the opportunity to work with the DDA for Fashion Week.
Ms. Alexis stated trough the DDA she showcased her fashion designs and the exposure
she needed so that the local community can find out who she is, what she is about, and
where she is located. She stated the DDA is very important to have in this community
4
07/14/15
especially for small businesses.
5.B.11. Mark Denkler, 335 & 310 East Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, FL
33483 (owns two shoe stores on the Board of Directors of the DDA), urged the
Commission to approve the 1% tax and as a Board member he will spend the money
wisely.
5.B.12. Mavis Benson, 800 Greensward Court #204, Delray Beach, FL 33445
(merchant and co-chair for the Merchants' Association), briefly spoke about the
increase revenue for the DDA from 2008-2013 and read a brief statement into the record.
In addition, Ms. Benson also commented about the Award Winning Practical Guide for
Downtown Businesses. She stated Delray's Fabulous Fashion Week was a Merit Award
Winner in 2014 by the International Downtown Association. Ms. Benson stated Fashion
Week, Savor the Avenue, and Mother's Day Orchid Give -a -way are all events which
work hand-in-hand with the restaurants and retail. Ms. Benson stated at year-end when
she looks at the profit/loss and it is in a positive, she feels that it is the DDA that has
helped her business and the success of the downtown.
5.B.13. Bruce Gimmy, 439 East Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33483
(was on the original Joint Venture Board that hired Marjorie Ferrer), stated the
DDA is more effective than it was then social media being a part of it. Mr. Gimmy urged
the City to leave the proposed millage levy rate for the DDA for fiscal year 2016 at
1.0000 mill.
5.B.14. Alan Schlossberg, 200 MacFarlane Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33483,
stated the July 7, 2015 City Commission meeting regarding Atlantic Crossing and in his
opinion, the traffic evaluation that was done does not make sense. Mr. Schlossberg stated
the engineer's analysis was based upon a summer traffic schedule of 6,000 daily trips
instead of a seasonal amount that would potentially be double or triple that amount. In
addition, Mr. Schlossberg stated the analysis was based solely on the given defective
design; the plan that already exists without any attempt to suggest any modifications to it
in order to integrate a satisfactory traffic plan. He stated the community has given so
much to Atlantic Crossing and he feels the project should meet the needs of the residents.
Mr. Schlossberg urged the City to require further evaluation of this development with
some structural changes and modifications. He stated the residents who live here are
fully aware of the traffic problems along Atlantic Avenue and by the bridge. Mr.
Schlossberg suggested that a two-way access road into and out of the project could help
to alleviate some of the traffic. However, Mr. Schlossberg stated the design plan needs to
be modified slightly in order to accommodate a two-way Atlantic Court. Mr.
Schlossberg stated this road was in the original contract and the residents have
overwhelmingly expressed the desire to have Atlantic Court to help alleviate the traffic
and about 30% of the population. Mr. Schlossberg stated the City Attorney should not be
discussing things with the developer at this point until the City Commission is clear about
what needs to be done.
07/14/15
5.11.15. Dr. Victor Kirson, D.D.S., 2050 Alta Meadows Lane 42110, Delray
Beach, FL 33444 (President of the Board of Directors of Tierra Verde at Delray
Beach and Member of the Alliance), stated he feels the City needs to get money from
the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) not from the Downtown Development
Authority (DDA). Dr. Kirson stated at the Chambers Government of Affairs Meeting the
City Manager stated that the CRA has $7.5 million that could be the City's; at the City
Commission meeting with the City Commission and the CRA, Annette Gray stated that
by thirty years most CRA's have been downsized tremendously or eliminated. Dr.
Kirson stated he read that the CRA is going to give the City back $1.2 million, but he
would like to see the CRA give back $7.5 million to the City. Dr. Kirson stated there is
nothing more the CRA can do to improve their territory on Atlantic Avenue and he urged
the City to get the money.

City's existing 100 foot Christmas tree. Mr. Kovner stated the three (3) options are as
follows: (1) Rehabilitate existing steel 100 foot steel tree, (2) Purchase new aluminum
100 foot tree, (3) Rental of 100 foot tree. Mr. Kovner gave a brief history of the
structural integrity of the existing steel Christmas tree and what would be used as storage
for the tree. Mr. Kovner stated this proposal is for December 2016.
Brief discussion by the Commission and Mr. Kovner ensued.
Les Hensley, President of Eazle Metal Products, stated the tree has to
be properly maintained, covered, and repaired on a regular basis because the tree is
rusting from the inside out.
Mr. Kovner stated he would be comfortable with the $30,000.00 repair as
long as the City has a structural engineer overseeing the repairs and the construction of
what areas need to be repaired, what areas do not need to be repaired, and the engineering
certifying that it will stay for one year. In addition, Mr. Kovner stated the City will need
someone to supervise and oversee the corrections and modifications from an engineer.
The City Manager stated the tree would have to be placed in a secure storage area.
Mayor Glickstein stated he would like to look at the cost of a pre -fab
building to store the Christmas tree on property the City already owns before the City
spends anymore money.
Patrick J. Brandano, Brandano Displays, Inc., gave a few brief
comments regarding the tree.
After brief discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission to continue
repairing the Christmas tree and direct staff to price out costs for galvanized coated steel;
and, direct the construction staff in-house to estimate the cost of building its own storage
facility on City owned land to store the Christmas tree and any other things that can fit in
that space.

11. COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS.
ILA. City Manager
The City Manager stated he has a request to waive a caf6 permit based
upon the impacts on US -1 and he has made a recommendation in his memo that if the
Commission so desires pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B) Special Powers of the
Commission to waiver nine (9) cafe outdoor dining permits that were impacted by the
US -1 project for one (1) year only and that they are retroactive.
It was the consensus of the City Commission to direct the City Manager to
present this item on the August 11, 2015 Agenda.
11.B. City Attorney
Michel Dutko, Assistant City Attorney stated he was asked to look at the
composition of the Police and Fire Board of Trustees specifically former Commissioner
Adam Frankel who is a current member of the board and was appointed as a public
member, but when he was appointed he was appointed as a public member having
consideration upon his serving on the City Commission. Mr. Dutko stated former
Commissioner Adam Frankel was appointed last June and the terms for that board are
two (2) years. Mr. Dutko stated the question was asked whether there is a mechanism or
22
07/14/15
allowance in the law for this board to reconsider that appointment. Mr. Dutko stated the
way the City's Code is structured; the City Commission member is a public of the board.
Therefore, Mr. Dutko stated under Chapter 175 and 185 this Commission has the
authority to revoke that appointment and to make another appointment so there can be
another member of the public or another member of the City Commission. Mr. Dutko
stated he researched this and this board can do that and asked for direction from the City
Commission whether they would like him to place this item on a future agenda.
Commissioner Jarjura stated she was supposed to have an appointment on
this board a month or two ago; she stated there were not enough applicants and each of
the applicants had an issue because one wanted to be reappointed but he was term limited
out and former Commissioner Frankel has been emailing and calling her on this. In
addition, Commissioner Jarjura stated another applicant was appointed by Vice Mayor
Petrolia to another board that same night and there was conflict issue with another
applicant. Commissioner Jarjura stated she understands that Mr. Dutko is explaining
about revoking another board member, but she does not have applicants to be able to
nominate someone to fill the position and it is an outstanding position. Commissioner
Jarjura thanked the City Clerk for sending out the SPRAB notices. However,
Commissioner Jarjura requested that staff start getting applicants because there is nobody
available for her to nominate and there will be another open position. Therefore,
Commissioner Jarjura stated that now there will be two (2) open positions.
Mayor Glickstein stated staff needs to get qualified applicants. With
respect to Mr. Dutko's comments, Mayor Glickstein stated he thought the intent was that
there is Commission representation. Mr. Dutko stated there is no requirement that
somebody is a City Commissioner to be the representative; you are a public member of
the board and it does not disqualify former Commissioner Frankel that he was a City
Commissioner. Mayor Glickstein stated staff needs to get qualified applicants and the
criteria should be that they have financial planning experience. Mayor Glickstein asked
if any of the current Commission has an interest in serving on this board.
Vice Mayor Petrolia stated she would be interested; however, she needs to
have more information about when they meet.
Jack Warner, CEO of the Finance Department, stated the Police and Fire
Pension Board meets four (4) times a year from 1:00-3:00 p.m. and then there is an
investment committee which has three (3) members. Mr. Warner stated the meetings are
efficient and not too time consuming. Vice Mayor Petrolia stated she can attend 1:00-
3:00 p.m. but she cannot do beyond 3:00 p.m. because her children get out of school at
this time. Vice Mayor Petrolia stated that staff needs to work on getting more people on
the list of "At -large" people and then move forward. Commissioner Jarjura asked the
City Clerk to start sending out email notices on that. Mayor Glickstein suggested that the
City Clerk ask Jack Warner to weigh in on the criteria that he would like to have seeing
an At -Large appointment. The City Clerk suggested that staff also publish an
advertisement for this similar to one that was done in the past.

11.C.1. Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated he is traveling to the south province of

Beach would like to make to our new sister city he would be honored to relay that to
them. Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated he will be leaving July 25t' and returning the

11.C.2. Vice Mayor Petrolia
Vice Mayor Petrolia commented about the letter from the lobbyist who is
still employed with the City and stated the Commission may want to discuss this further
only because she does not want to lose momentum in anything relating to these sober
homes issue. Vice Mayor Petrolia stated there needs to be plan going forward and she
feels this is worthy of addressing. Also, Vice Mayor Petrolia stated she noticed that there
a lot of money received by other cities for lobbying purposes for other reasons.
Secondly, Vice Mayor Petrolia stated she does not know where this rumor
about the DDA going away came from and for clarification she stated because it is not
about the DDA going away. Vice Mayor Petrolia stated the intent of the survey was
more about trying to get an outstanding of what the true consensus was for those that
were paying the proposed millage levy rate and giving them options (i.e. if it was fair or
not, if they wanted half the rate, or if they did not want it at all) and hopefully that the
DDA might add some things that would be helpful to the city to be able to be more
effective downtown.
Lastly, Vice Mayor Petrolia stated the Commission received a proposal
from the Delray Beach Housing Group with respect to the Auburn Trace property. In her
opinion, Vice Mayor Petrolia stated although it is preliminary, but she feels it gives her a
better idea of what the value might be of this property.
11.C.3. Commissioner Jarjura
Commissioner Jarjura stated she completely agrees with Vice Mayor
Petrolia's comments about the lobbyist. Commissioner Jarjura stated the lobbyist is the
State lobbyist not the Federal lobbyist. She stated she sent the City Manager and the City
Attorney the Legislative Session schedule and most cities engage a lobbyist (Delray
Beach did this for a limited scope of services) to try to capture dollars and funding.
Secondly, with respect to workforce/affordable housing, Commissioner
Jarjura stated there are some issues in the City's Code where it is referred to as
"workforce housing" and other places where it is referred to as "affordable housing" and
asked how we spend that money because there is no money. She stated it says that it
goes into a fund at the City level and she discussed with the City Manager about
24
07/14/15
analyzing that and putting together a working group to make some recommendations to
him. Commissioner Jarjura recommended that Mr. Jon Levinson be on that working
group since he was part of the Commission that put those original Codes into place and
he was the President of the Florida Preservation Trust. Commissioner Jarjura stated the
City Manager supported that idea and asked the Commission for a consensus. She stated
for each of the different issues there are ambiguities and inconsistencies in the Code and
the workforce/affordable housing issue is one of them. Commissioner Jarjura stated the
City has no plan so the different groups are lobbying the City Manager saying that they
want that money, but the City does not have it memorialized in the Code on how the City
is supposed to spend it. It was the consensus of the Commission to direct the City
Manager to contact Mr. Jon Levinson and ask him to put together a working group for
this.
11.C.4. Commissioner Katz
Commissioner Katz stated at the June 16, 2015 City Commission meeting
Mr. Robert Furr, Special Bankruptcy Counsel (Auburn Trace) was present and was asked
a specific question about filing a motion for receivership and Mr. Furr informed him that
the City was not in the process yet to do that, but he would be doing that going forward.
Commissioner Katz stated he read an email dated May 11, 2015 sent to Vice Mayor
Petrolia where Mr. Furr specifically stated that a motion had already been filed.
Commissioner Katz requested a copy of that motion that was filed previously to May 11,
2015. Mayor Glickstein clarified that Mr. Furr stated a motion for trustee not
receivership. Commissioner Katz expressed concern that the email contradicts what Mr.
Furr said and he would like to see what really occurred. Mike Dutko, Assistant City
Attorney asked Commissioner Katz to forward the email to him.
Secondly, with respect to the League of Cities, Commissioner Katz stated
in addition to the lobbying some of these cities are getting some things done by the
Commission lobbying as well along with our lobbyist. Commissioner Katz suggested
that the City look at whatever we can do to move sober home legislation a level ahead
without spending millions of dollars.
At this point, Vice Mayor Petrolia stated recently she had the opportunity
of speaking with Congresswoman Lois Frankel and one of the things they discussed was
the ALS homes and how they have to be separated by approximately 1,000 feet and
maybe there is a potential of piggybacking on that idea with sober homes in areas. She
stated the whole idea is not to impact the neighborhood or change the dynamic of the
neighborhood. For example, Vice Mayor Petrolia stated there are some neighborhoods
where every other home is a sober home so this would eliminate that or at least spread it
out because Delray Beach is really being affected by this. She stated nobody else has the
same level of intensity that Delray Beach is experiencing and she feels that this could be
one of the reasons that Delray Beach cannot get other legislative people to agree to this.
Commissioner Katz stated there are really good operators helping people in this town but
at the same time there are some really bad operators of the sober homes ruining it for
everybody. Commissioner Katz suggested that the City find a way to work with
25
07/14/15
whatever legislative entity it is to figure out a way to get those bad operators out of this
town so that the good ones can help the people that truly need the help.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet suggested that whatever committee
Commissioner Katz is part of when the Florida League of Cities develops their priorities
during the August meetings, that he makes sure that sober homes is one of the Top #3
priorities.
11.C.5. Mayor Glickstein
With respect to the sober home issue, Mayor Glickstein stated there was a
conference call last week with HUD, himself, Terrill Pyburn, and Senator Nelson's
office. Mayor Glickstein stated there is also some movement with Representative
Frankel's efforts and our City's efforts in getting administrative rules which are the
mandate of the Department of Justice and HUD in terms of how Federal law is
interpreted in current context. He stated the letter that was sent to HUD and the
Department of Justice was signed by Representative Frankel. Mayor Glickstein stated
there is not only bicoastal support but very distinct bipartisan support and other
representatives sign that letter as well.
Secondly, Mayor Glickstein congratulated the DBMC for the 4th of July
event and stated according to the DBMC, the economic impact of that event is $2 million.
There being no further business, Mayor Glickstein declared the meeting
adjourned at 11:53 p.m.
