At this point, the Commission moved to Comments and Inquiries on
Agenda and Non -Agenda Items from the City Manager and the Public Immediately
Following Presentations.
6.A. City Manager's response to prior public comments and inquiries.
The City Manager made a brief statement regarding his memorandum to
the City Commission concerning the alleged Purchasing violations that the City believes
they have uncovered in the criminal investigation that is ongoing. The City Manager
assured the City Commission and the public that this is a matter of utmost seriousness
and reflects the failure of management from the City Manager's office down to the line
level and reflects a culture that is unacceptable and will be changed regardless of where it
goes. The City Manager stated there are multiple investigations underway both at the
administrative level and at the OIG's level Commission on Ethics, and the State
Attorney's office and those investigations will be followed to wherever they lead. As a
result of that, the City Manager stated the City intends to change the culture of -the
organization, ensure that there is the appropriate training and understanding from all
levels from the City Manager's office down to the lowest employee, and to institute and
implement Best Management Practices not only in Purchasing but across the board. The
City Manager stated he feels the City is going to run into other issues similar to this in
various business processes and how the City has done business on a variety of issues and
2
05/20/15
he finds it is one of the most disheartening things that he has personally had to deal with
in his career. The City Manager stated the City will follow this to the ultimate end and it
will be changed.
In response to previous comments from the May 5, 2015 City Commission
meeting with respect to beach pavilion, the City Manager stated it appears the materials
that were used to fasten the beach pavilion to its foundation and other areas were not of
marine grade and may not have been up to par. The City Manager stated City staff is
working with the City Attorney to see if the City has recourse against the contractor. The
City Manager stated he went to inspect it and in some areas there are marine grade
material and some parts they do not. He stated they have placed that on an annual
maintenance program and are in the process of correcting those problems and will correct
them on an annual basis as part of a high maintenance environment that the beach
represents.
In response to the improvements that were made on US -1, the City
Manager stated the improvements do not meet in many of the areas the five foot (5') clear
space. For example, the City Manager stated where the Royal Palms are placed it is
between 41/2 feet and 43/4 feet from the back of the tree to the edge of the building. Based
upon personal inspection, the City Manager stated there are numerous intersections that
are like an obstacle course because it appears that the designers of the project took the
existing facilities, used FDOT standards which are from the front of the curb and
measured everything and simply put them in place. The City Manager stated some of
these can be corrected easily and some will take time over the years to correct. The City
Manager stated he believes it is important to complete the project and go into corrective
mode after that based upon the City's financial ability and the difficulty of correcting the
issue. The City Manager stated some of this involves utility movement.
Vice Mayor Petrolia asked if there are any more plantings that are in the
process of going in that could be changed right now. The City Manager stated almost all
of them are done and it would require further delays of the project and further change
orders. Given the inconvenience associated with the project, the City Manager stated he
would not recommend that at this point in time.
Commissioner Jarjura stated since they project is in process it seems to be
a waste to do it improperly rather than correct the problem now; however, the City
Manager has indicated that funding would be impacted. The City Manager stated the
City is in the final stages of the project 75-80% complete; there is rationalization that the
material that is being laid around the plantings you can walk over it and therefore you can
indicated that there is the five foot (5') clear space or close to it. However, the City
Manager stated it is between 4%2 and 43/4 inch; Commissioner Jarjura stated there are
some areas where it is 21/2 feet.
With respect to the City Manager's comments, Vice Mayor Petrolia asked
if these multiple investigations going on are regarding one issue or is it regarding
3
05/20/15
multiple issues. In response, the City Manager stated it is multiple employees or multiple
instances of the same issue.
Mayor Glickstein stated he would like to put on notice the designer
because regardless of who prepared it in particular if it was FDOT consultants who is a
sister agency to a Federal Agency and to the extent that they are designing something or
approving something that does not meet ADA requirements is close to gross negligence.
Mayor Glickstein asked why City staff was not involved in that design in particular the
Planning Department which is tasked with reviewing development projects for that type
of compliance and were they at all consulted on any section of this roadway. Mayor
Glickstein stated that the City Manager knew that coming into this position and the
reason he was being interviewed was because the three (3) predecessors before him
neither understood the gravity of the problem nor did they understand the sense of
urgency to correct it and the City Commission made this very clear to the City Manager
upon his hiring. Mayor Glickstein stated he appreciates the depth of the investigation, he
presumes it will be a while before the State Attorney and the other investigating agencies
reach their conclusion. Mayor Glickstein stated criminality is not the standard by which
the City should be determining whether somebody is an employee of this city. The City
Manager stated he fully agrees with Mayor Glickstein and staff is moving rapidly now.
Mayor Glickstein stated the Commission was informed on a few different occasions that
the procurement issues were handled none of which have proven to be accurate and the
Commission is looking for results at this point; with regard to the structural changes,
people need to see action.
6.B. From the Public.
6.B.1. Ed McCall, 950 S.W. 17th Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444, urged the
City Commission to vote "no" on Item 8.G. which is for a sidewalk project on S.W. 17th
Avenue. Mr. McCall stated this is a very active industrial zone with marble vendors,
semi -trucks, automobile repair shops, body shops, metal recycling business, constant
trucks, heavy equipment, etc. Mr. McCall stated he was told the sidewalks are beim
installed there is because kids from tri -rail walk to Village Academy on S.W. 14
Avenue and he feels installing sidewalks on this street is not going to protect anybody
and noted S.W. 14th Avenue has a sidewalk from the school to S.W. 10th Street. He
stated this is a waste of taxpayers' money and inquired whythe City promoting
pedestrian traffic to a heavily used industrial zone. He stated S.W. 10th Street is in dire
need of sidewalks. Mr. McCall urged the City to direct the CRA to reallocate this money
elsewhere in the city and he entered photos of properties on S.W. 10th Street and North
side of S.W. 17th Avenue.
6.B.2. Bob Ganger, Florida Coalition, stated he has confidence in the
Commission to get through the issues the City is currently facing.
Secondly, Mr. Ganger commented about the Atlantic Crossing project and
Item 9.0. Mr. Ganger stated if the design coming forward is satisfactory and meets the
criteria of being better than the original Atlantic Court concept or better than the site plan
4
05/20/15
that was approved, the City would want a very skilled attorney (Mr. Steve Rubin) to
review the settlement agreement and the developer agreement assuming there is one. He
suggested that the Commission contact the attorney who actually wrote the last
development agreement and engage him in a briefing. Mr. Ganger stated if there is a
settlement it has to be between the City and the developer but the City would not have a
settlement if it had not been for the public. Mr. Ganger stated many residents spent
$30,000 of their own money for a traffic study, etc. to get to where they are today.
6.B.3. Ed McDonald, 314 East Mallory Circle, Delray Beach, FL 33483,
stated he feels this is being rushed tonight when Commissioner Katz is not present
because he was the one that proposed that the City look retain special outside counsel.
Therefore, Mr. McDonald requested that the Commission delay the decision until
Commissioner Katz is present.
Secondly, Mr. McDonald stated yesterday he was taking a walk and
passed by a bumper sticker which said "We the People" and under it said "Defend
Liberty". Mr. McDonald stated at the City Commission meeting of May 5, 2015, the
City Attorney recommended that all invocations will be eliminated from future City
Commission meetings. Mr. McDonald stated it removes the opportunity for the public to
hear the invocation of a blessing by some person from the clergy asking God's blessing
on what is taking place right now; secondly, Mr. McDonald is stated he can pray but he
would like to hear what is said. Mr. McDonald stated he feels this country is losing
liberties right before our eyes and he does not understand why we have to do this. Mr.
McDonald recommends that the Commission put this proposal on the Agenda for
discussion and list this issue on the Agenda for subsequent public vote by all
Commissioners. He stated "All future Commission meetings will continue to permit
invocations and follow a rotation system overseen by the Mayor whereby a different
member of the clergy is permitted to issue an invocation once in any calendar year.
There shall be no repetition among this group of clergy; only one person in any calendar
year."
6.B.4. Gary Brandenburg, 11891 U.S. Highway 1, Delray Beach, FL 33408
(represents Lakmichand Kalra), commented about the Lake Ida property that the City
is acquiring from Palm Beach County and proposed that Mr. Kalra would pay Palm
Beach County $250,000.00 for the property, obtain the property, and then give the City a
bicycle easement through that property as well as the adjoining 23 acre property, and give
the City of Delray $250,000.00 to utilize for bike trail improvements along that property.
6.B.5. Mariorie Ferrer, Downton Development Authority (DDA) 85 S.E. 4th
Avenue Suite #108, Delray Beach, FL 33483, distributed a "Who Can You Call"
brochure and the DDA's Annual Report.
6.B.6. Tony Chapital, 110 S.W. 1St Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444, read the
following mission statement into the record "To encourage all dog owners to know,
abide, and pass on the laws/requirements and overall proper responsible adequate to
enjoy and prolong our already dog -friendly community. Mr. Chapital stated he watched
5
05/20/15
4 hrs. and 44 minutes of the City's Goal Setting for 2015 the other day. For the last thirty
(30) years, he stated some dog owners have been accessing the North end of the beach
with their dogs and noted some of these people have health issues.
Secondly, Mr. Chapital stated he watched the beautiful ceremony for the
two fallen Police Officers. He stated this made him think of the City's Police force
having to write a ticket and be forceful to some of the sweet people that are dealing with
their minor health issues that they may or may not want to share. Mr. Chapital stated he
is certain that the City has better things to do with its time and budget and is open for
discussion. He urged the Commission to allow the responsible dog owners group access
to that North section of the beach.
6.B.7. Arie Whiteman, 5091 Washington Road, Delray Beach, FL 33484,
stated this City Commission hired Mr. Cooper as the City Manager which means they
have the confidence in him to run this city. Mr. Whiteman urged the Commission to let
Mr. Cooper do his job versus trying to micro -manage him.
Secondly, Mr. Whiteman stated that the Commission commented about
the Federal Highway project and that it is the developer's fault and the architects fault
and feels there are other people that should have caught this as well.
6.B.8. Ron Nobili, 159 Marine Way, Slip #15, Delray Beach, FL 33483
(member of the discriminated class of residents livinL, within the Marina Historic
District), stated at the last Commission meeting discrimination was highlighted and
noted that Easter Sunday the adult children of his significant other nor his uncle and
uncle's wife were able to conveniently visit them because his significant other was
utilizing his one and only guest pass. Mr. Nobili stated an identical illustration
manifested itself on Mother's Day exhibiting twenty-two (22) vacant on -street parking
spaces at 8:30 a.m., twenty (20) at 1:45 p.m., and seventeen (17) at 8:30 p.m. In his
opinion, Mr. Nobili stated further highlighting the inequity of Ordinance No. 05-15,
recently he had a friend stay with him for a week and his significant other could not visit
him because his visitor was utilizing his one and only obtainable guest pass. He stated
recently he had a computer specialist assist him and his significant other had to leave and
noted if he required the services of a medical professional/physical therapist, then his
significant other would have to leave. Mr. Nobili stated there were on average twenty
(20) vacant on -street parking spaces on Marine Way each day his vehicle was
incapacitated and each of the former situations illustrated married couples (some who do
not live in Delray Beach) with two permitted vehicles and a guest pass do not suffer such
diminished quality of life as they are able to utilize up to three (3) on -street parking
spaces.
6.B.9. Pauline Moody, 609 S.W. 8th Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444, entered
a new Field Report from the Delray Beach Police Department and a lease from the
Caring Kitchen. Ms. Moody commented about alleged situations of ethical violations.
6
05/20/15
6.B.10. Cindi Freeburn, 371 East Mallory Circle, Delray Beach, FL 33483,
urged the Commission to defer the discussion and decision on special counsel for
Atlantic Crossing to review the possible settlement. Ms. Freeburn stated Commissioner
Katz requested that and everyone knew since the meeting was moved from its regularly
scheduled night, for good reason, that he would be present tonight. Therefore, Ms.
Freeburn feels Commissioner Katz should have the opportunity to weigh in on that. Ms.
Freeburn stated there is a public perception problem with this project and it is important
that everything going forward with the project is "squeaky clean."
Ms. Jarjura moved to approve to continue public comment until the
Commission gets through public comment and the Agenda before moving to public
hearings, seconded by Vice Mayor Petrolia. Upon roll call the Commission moved to
approve as follows: Ms. Jarjura — Yes; Mayor Glickstein — Yes; Vice Mayor Petrolia —
Yes; Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet — Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
6.B.11. Bob Brewer, 3822 South Lancewood Place, Delray Beach, FL 33445 (a
member of Friends of Delray Dog Beach), stated they would like to make a small
section of the public beach dog friendly. Mr. Brewer stated for the last fifteen (15) years
he and many other dog owners have taken their dogs to the beach and occasionally it has
been enforced as "No Dogs Allowed". He stated he had extensive discussions with
Suzanne Davis, Director of Delray Beach Parks and Recreation and with the Executive
Director of Friends of Jupiter Beach getting their input on the issues and as a group have
been studying what has worked in surrounding municipalities. Mr. Brewer stated Friends
of Delray Dog Beach currently has over 300 members with a petition circulating with
over 1,800 signatures. He stated monthly their volunteers would do a major cleanup of
the dog area and the Friends of Delray Dog Beach would sell advertising on the dog
supplies to help defray the cost that the City is currently occurring. Mr. Brewer stated
they would purchase an annual permit and there would be an additional fee for non-
residents; only dogs current on their tags would be allowed to be permitted and would
increase the registration of the dogs (250 dogs@ $25.00 each 50 non-residential dogs @
$75 = $10,000 income for the City; 40 dogs per day 1 1/2hrs. average visit would increase
parking meter revenue by $32,850.00 a year). Mr. Brewer stated many of them have
breakfast downtown after being on the beach bringing in additional revenue. He urged
the City to work with them to help find a solution.
6.B.12. Dr. Victor Kirson, D.D.S., 2050 Alta Meadows Lane #2110, Delray
Beach, FL 33444 (President of the Board of Directors of Tierra Verde at Delray
Beach and Member of the Alliance), commented about the Planning and Zoning Board
for postponing the iPic movie theatre again. Dr. Kirson stated he lives at S.W. 10th Street
and Linton Boulevard and it used to take him 4 or 5 minutes to get to Federal Highway
and Linton Boulevard, but now it takes him 12-15 minutes. He commented about the
numerous new places to eat on Linton Boulevard and feels this is progress.

to the Commission.
Mayor Glickstein declared the public hearing open. There being no one

it could possibly be creating more problems and that the city may be under valuing what
the cost of a space. She is concerned how this will affect the future.
Mayor Glickstein stated the incentives for West Atlantic Avenue and
Osceola Park need to remain in place; however, he does not feel the need for incentives
in Pineapple Grove relative to parking.
The City Manager stated this ordinance is a corrective ordinance based
upon previous direction of the City Commission (Ordinance No. 09-15 corrects
Ordinance No. 03-15 which inadvertently repealed this) and staff can look into whether
these rates need to be adjusted.
Mayor Glickstein suggested that staff can bring something back
regarding why the City is reducing the in -lieu cost in an area that is parking constrained
now for Pineapple Grove.

piece of Old School Square Historic Arts District (OSSHAD) along South Swinton on

now.

11. FIRST READINGS:
A. NONE
12. COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS.
12.A. City Manager
1. County Deed Transferring Lake Ida Property
The City Manager stated he has a meeting this Friday with County staff to
try to finalize this item and if the deed is acceptable with the City Commission then he
will proceed.
The City Attorney stated this is not the first deed sent from the County; the
first deed he found far too restrictive so he sent a redline markup to the County and the
County incorporated many of his changes but not all of his changes. The City Attorney
stated the County agreed to was he expanded the City's potential uses of the property to
include Passive Park, accessory structures, the temporary docking, and the pedestrian
pathways. The City Attorney asked the County to remove the automatic reverter and
instead put in a writ of reverter so it provides some opportunity for discussion rather than
to have the trigger as an operation of law but they rejected that comment.
Commissioner Jarjura commented about Mr. Bradenburg's comments to
allow the City to have an easement while his client develops his high-end lakefront
residential home for the offer of $250,000.00. Commissioner Jarjura stated she does not
support that and the City Commission has already expressed they do not support
developing that property. The City Attorney stated before the City closes on the property
to get a survey, title policy, and do some basic due diligence before taking title. Deputy
Vice Mayor Jacquet stated one of things he spoke about to the gentleman who
approached him about this particular transfer of property was the use of it in the future
and Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated he supports the County's rejection of the reverter
clause because he would not want discussions and if the City decides to develop it the
County should take it back. Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated the only reason he has
supported this is because this is to be preserved to be natural.
12.B. City Attorney
The City Attorney stated he informed Mr. Warner that the City expects to
close next week with Iberiabank and he has a draft closing statement.
22
05/20/15
12.C. City Commission
12.C.1. Commissioner Jariura
Commissioner Jarjura stated part of Delray Beach's character is the
ecliptic architecture and designs. In addition to preserve mass and scale in the city,
Commissioner Jarjura suggested that we also preserve incentives to property owners to
preserve the architectural design. Commissioner Jarjura stated Caffe Martier and the
fresh produce block, the improved the aesthetics but kept the character and she feels it is
important for the city to encourage that so that we do not lose the architectural features
of these buildings both at a commercial standpoint and residential standpoint.
Commissioner Jarjura suggested that staff look into amending the Code to
have administrative approval and review for when property owners are looking at
preserving the original building's design and basic fagade changes that do not change
material and keep with the architecture integrity. She asked for the consensus of the
Commission for expedited permitting through administrative review or incentives. The
City Manager stated this will be one of the first things that will be assigned to the new
Planning and Zoning Director. Commissioner Jarjura encouraged staff to reach out to
the property owner or the developer of that in looking at keeping the 710 house and
moving it to the front and doing the new construction behind it so that the front of
Swinton stays the same. Commissioner Jarjura stated she is happy to meet with him
and asked staff to set this up.
Commissioner Jarjura stated in many cities staff sits in the Commission
Chambers and some of issues that this Commission often has is that the message is not
trickling down to who needs to know about it. For example, Commissioner Jarjura
stated the sidewalk issue that was discussed earlier today; she noted that the
Commission has stated multiple times that they want to prioritize certain streets and
areas of the city where there are safety concerns with children, parks, and schools.
Commissioner Jarjura suggested that if the Department Heads were all present in the
Commission Chambers at the Commission meetings then it would maybe produce better
results.
Commissioner Jarjura stated if there is a vote taken or a consensus taken
she requests (even if the Commission is divided) that staff, the City Manager, and the
City Attorney follow the direction of the majority or the consensus of the City
Commission.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated individual direction is different from
Commission direction. Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet if states he wants to see something
but if he does not look over to ask for consensus, then he feels it is the City Manager's
job or City Attorney's job to make sure that they get consensus before moving forward
with it.
23
05/20/15
Also, Commissioner Jarjura asked her colleagues that once the
Commission votes on something or give direction, that they respect one another's
decision even if it is different from what the majority has decided on that the
Commission not revisit issues but that they can move on to the next order of business.
Mayor Glickstein stated at the end of the Workshop meeting the City
Manager stated to him that he was not sure what was decided but feels it is the City
Manager's responsibility and the City Attorney's responsibility that if there is something
that is not clear that they ask the Commission for the clarity.
12.C.2. Vice Mayor Petrolia
Vice Mayor Petrolia stated she had a conversation with Mr. Pfeffer earlier
today about making sure that each Commission member has the same information when
they are making decisions in the Commission Chambers.
Secondly, with respect to the systems and procedures the City has in place,
Vice Mayor Petrolia stated she believes that the City does have the systems in place but
she believes it is the procedures and more of a procedural problem that the City is
having.
Lastly, Vice Mayor Petrolia stated she has received several telephone calls
from the Marina Historic District asking whether live-aboards are permitted at the
marina. Vice Mayor Petrolia commented that the price that they are getting is not a
normal live -aboard rate but is just a dockage fee and asked that the City Manager look
into whether the City's Code states that live-aboards are prohibited. The City Manager
stated he will research this matter.
12.C.3. Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated with the numerous construction
projects going on in particular where the SOFA project is located he stated there is a
problem with the visibility He stated there are cars parked all over those streets and
residents cannot see when pulling out of the side streets. Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet
stated you have pull out to the middle of the road just to be able to see oncoming traffic
and suggested that a Police Officer start issuing tickets to those parked cars or that the
City have discussion with the developers to make sure they have a place to park.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated something needs to be done because it is affecting the
quality of life in that neighborhood.
Mayor Glickstein stated the developer is bringing the fence out on a 45
degree angle; they are not following the City's requirements of a clear angle. He stated
if they did this then it would push the parking back in each direction. The City Manager
stated the City has to maintain the sidelines on the corners just for public safety factors
because that is a requirement.

12.C.4. Mayor Glickstein
Mayor Glickstein stated with respect to the City Manager's memo
regarding the solar belly's (solar powered trash compactor) and if possible the City
would like to purchase a minimum of twenty-five (25) cans. The City Manager stated at
this point in time there is still some internal debate regarding those.
Secondly, Mayor Glickstein requested that when staff comes forward that
they introduce themselves and state their position/title.
With respect to the trees on US -1 in the actual medians, Mayor Glickstein
stated he would like the City Horticulturist to look at the quality control issue in
particular some of the sabal palms there is a very curved tree right next to a straight tree
and it looks sloppy. Mayor Glickstein stated there are places where they have purposely
curved the tree away from overhead lines and those are staked accordingly. However,
he stated there is a haphazard way that they have planted some of these sabal palms. In
addition, Mayor Glickstein requested that the City Horticulturist look at the specification
on southbound Federal Highway towards Publix further south where they have planted a
variety of palms where there is only six (6) inches or a foot of clear trunk. Mayor
Glickstein stated he would like a thorough analysis completed to ensure that the City is
getting the quality that the Commission specified, etc.
Lastly, Mayor Glickstein stated with respect to Delray Place on Federal
Highway and Linton Boulevard, aesthetically there is a retaining wall at the corner and
they spent a lot of money on the detailing on the actual architecture but in front that is a
very cheap pressure treated dowse that they have driven into the ground to retain the
earth in front of the actual structural feature. He expressed concern about whether or not
it is going to be covered by landscaping. However, Mayor Glickstein stated he would
like staff to look into this as to whether or not that should have been something
architectural or if someone just decided that this is an easy way to finish this corner off
because in his opinion it does not look attractive now. Mayor Glickstein stated also
related to the property there is a lot of landscaping material in that corner that appears to
be jumbled together. He stated when this project was approved there was a lot of
concern about the parking and with the number of restaurants that are being introduced
to this, he would like staff to stay on top of this before the season starts because the
developer was required to report back to the City Commission about the uses. Mayor
Glickstein stated when they were representing the project they were representing that

many of those outparcels would be non -restaurant (i.e. retail) and he requested an
update. The Commission agreed that there was a condition of approval and a look back
to determine whether or not there was enough space at a certain point.
There being no further business, Mayor Glickstein declared the meeting
adjourned at 9:25 p.m.
